Nope; because then the Republican Governor of Florida would pick his replacement – and unnecessarily losing a Democratic Senator when they are on the cusp of a filibuster-proof majority is a no-brainer.

“In March 2007 it was reported that Rep. Gordon, chairman of the U.S.House science committee, said that NASA is headed for “a train wreck” if the space agency isn’t better funded to finish building the international space station and develop the next-generation spacecraft.”

That’s from Bart Gordon’s Wikipedia entry.

Not much directly related at David Wu’s entry unless one thinks Star Trek is.

So why are these people candidates? What would be the reasoning behind choosing either of them? They’ve got experience from relevant parts of Congress which could be good but is that all?
