If I was Gov. of MN, the evil I would do in nominating Franken's replacement...
Franked said he would be resigning in the next few weeks.
If I was Gov Dayton, I would tell Franken not to resign until January.
And I would keep silent about his replacement I was until good and ready. (No hurry. Not much will be done between the 22nd of Dec and whenever Congress reconvenes.)
And I would publicly start to interview several possible candidates to be Franken's replacement.
And I'd ask for in-state suggestions for that position.
And I would wait to see who wins next week's election in Alabama.
And, if it is Roy Moore, I would wait until the Republican Senate swore him in and seated him.
And, if the Senate did NOT immediately remove Moore from the Senate and/or face an ethics committee, I would make my choice known.
I would announce:
"After careful consideration and, considering the actions of the Republican Party and Republican members of the U.S. Senate, and wanting to make the best selection possible, I have decided to nominate as Minnesota Senator - Al Franken!"
And then sit back and watch the Reich-wingers do the only thing they can and often do - set themselves on fire in rage!
But that's just me. But I would do it. I swear on Jesus's tits I. Would. Do. This!
