I think it was PBrunsel who talked about the candidate drowning and runningmate taking over the ticket.

Frank T. Johns was the candidate that drowned, and runningmate Verne Reynolds took his place.

Mr. Johns is the only candidate to die while campaigning for president. A dead man was elected a West Virginia Congressman in 1900.

Technically Missouri elected a dead man (Mel Carnahan) over John Ashcroft for Governor in 2000.

I'd vote for any dead man over John Ashcroft.
Governor? You mean Senator.
Patsy Mink was also reelected to the House posthumously in 2002.

You know the story of the Standing Bull Ranch case?
I'd be very careful to call Peltier a murderer. In fact, it'd never occur to me to call him a murderer. It wouldn't occur to me to call him an entirely innocent man, either.

Oh, "convicted murderer" is technically correct. He was convicted for murder, so he's a convicted murderer.

He is a "convicted murderer". He was convicted in a court of law for assisting in the murder a CIA agent. He only "assisted" he didn't murder, so he is only a "convicted" murderer.
