Now didn't Ted Kennedy get the law changed so that the then Republican governor couldn't appoint a Republican to his seat after he died? Then a Democrat becomes governor and because of the new law a Republican got Ted Kennedy's seat. With the great irony being that if they didn't change the law they'd have a Democrat in there? Beautiful, just beautiful.

The laws concerning vacancies were changed a few times to suit the Democrats in MA, but they didn't and don't control which party someone must belong to. The person appointed (Paul Kirk) to be the interim Senator was a Democrat. The appointment was temporary until a special election could be held. That special election happened Tuesday and the Republican candidate (Brown) won. MA doesn't have a Republican Senator because of the law, they have one because MA residents voted for him.
