I saw an article this morning about the replacement for Ted Kennedy as Senator of The Socialist Republic of Massachusetts. Unlike some states, his replacement will not be chosen by the Governor, but by a special election. As it turns out, several years ago, this was not the case. When John Kerry was running for President, Mitt Romney was Governor of Massachusetts (and would have been the one to choose Kerry's replacement should he win the presidency). The democrats didn't want this to happen so they managed to change the law so that there would be a special election (thereby preventing Romney from appointing a Republican). (Thankfully, it was a moot point as Kerry didn't win)
Evidently last week, Kennedy (no doubt knowing of his impending death) asked Massachusetts lawmakers to change the law BACK to having the governor choose the replacement (as their current governor is a liberal democrat who supports Obama). Don't you love how democrats want the laws changed to suit their personal interests? Is this poetic justice?
