Big surprise

Those of us who distrust the current "leadership" provided the Democrat party have yet another reason to do so:

The Massachusetts House voted late Thursday to change state law to give Democratic Gov. Deval Patrick the power to appoint a temporary successor to the late U.S. Sen. Ted Kennedy until a special election is held early next year.

The vote has drawn controversy because a 2004 change in the law stripped then Republican Gov. Mitt Romney of the power to appoint a successor if Democratic Sen. John Kerry would have won the presidency.

I wonder if there is anything they wouldn't do to keep their grasp on power. The next elections may be even more interesting than I was expecting.
