That law was specifically put in place to prevent then governor Mitt Romney from appointing a Republican replacement if Kerry won the presidency. Now, with a Democrat governor, the law suddenly and cynically needs to be changed to allow immediate appointment of another yes vote for healthcare "reform." It's one last burst of hypocrisy from the private school boy who fought school choice and the health care advocate who never would have had to go near the coverage he championed and whose inherited wealth made sure he never would have dealt with the economic wreckage that would ensue.
