RC>I mentioned this to you before but you *ran away*..


Not unusual for Otto.


RC>The State Of Massachussetts once had a law that empowered the States
RC>Governor to appoint a interim replacement for any of its Federal
RC>Legislators whom could no longer serve in office, until a special election
RC>could be held.


RC>In 2004 when Senator John Kerry secured the nomination for
RC>President, the state legislature by a veto proof majority passed
RC>legislation that stripped the Mass State Governor of this authority. The
RC>possibility existed that if Kerry won the Presidency that naturally he
RC>would have to resign from the Senate and then Republican Governor Mitt
RC>Romney would get to appoint a interim replacement. So they made sure that
RC>never could become a possibility.


RC>Now that the Governor is a Democrat,
RC>with the passing of Kennedy, the Democrats are rushing to institute the
RC>old law to allow the State Governor to appoint an interim replacement.


RC>Do you find this as odd behavior?


Not in that state!
