Message on Senator Edward Kennedy-Governor Patrick

[neumeierv]

Gov Patrick, Please Please do everything in your power to fill his empty seat asap so Massachusetts does not go through what Minnesota has gone through for the past 8 months. We need 2 senators!

Thank you for your message, Gov. Patrick. But please don't play partisan politics with filling his vacancy. Massachusetts was right in 2004 to go to special elections, just as required for all U.S. House Member. Please stand up for democracy and that law.

Tell me Fairvote...what Republican governor would appoint a Democrat to a seat a Republican of Kennedy's stature had held for all these years? Please be respectful of some political realities. This vacancy deserves a Democrat!
