Don't Allow Massachusetts to Steal Kennedy's Seat

Deval Patrick has come out again and said he now supports a change in Massachusetts law, so that HE can appoint a new senator, rather than having a democratic election. So to be sure, he's against having a democratic election and would prefer to appoint someone in the interim which would clearly give that appointee a clear advantage in the run-off.

Why all the hubbub? As the Boston Globe reminds us:

The Democratic-controlled Legislature in Massachusetts in 2004 changed state law to require special elections and prevent then-Governor Mitt Romney, a Republican, from naming a replacement had Senator John F. Kerry won the presidency.

And now Massachusetts Dems want to change it back!

Let's tell Deval Patrick to keep his good 'ol boy Chicago-style politics in Chicago, and out of Massachusetts. Contact him at 617-725-4005, or email him here.
