Who is Duval? Robert? Shelly?
If our Governer (Deval Patrick) did appoint someone, there is no provision that can prevent a person from running for election, or in this case re-election. Just because Ted wanted it that way and put it in his letter doesn't mean it's law. In fact the law says that the person can run if they want.
When Patrick was asked about the hypocrisy of the Dems blocking Romney from appointing someone in 2004 and now wanting to change the law so they can do the same thing, his answer was "I wasn't in office then". No sh!t genius. You couldn't have been in office because Romney was. What an idiot.
