1. If Norm should not be able to complete his term for some reason
(like being fitted for an orange jumpsuit) the governor would appoint an interim senator who would serve until the next general election. Whoever won that election would fill out the remaining time in Norman's term.

For example, say the weasel gets hauled off to prison in 2009, his senate seat would be on the ballot in 2010. Whoever won that election would not be elected to a 6 year term, but to finish the last 4 years of the current term. So that person would be up for reelection in 2014.

3. Ok thanks. I'm thinking it's a Franken straight out win, and a Norm do not pass go.
