Democrats insisted on changing the law in Massachusetts to require an election to fill the office of Senator John Kerry, should he be elected president in 2004. They argued that the people, not the governor, should choose the Senator’s replacement. Of course, the governor at the time was a Republican, Mitt Romney. Now that the governor is a Democrat, the people should not choose Ted Kennedy’s successor, the governor should make the appointment. The duplicity here is despicable.
