Globe. John Cole is displeased. That's a lot of agita from Cole for a 4 month appointment. This too shall pass as there will be an election in January.

For the record, I was not paying much attention to what Massachusetts did in 2004, but after the fact, it was pretty outrageous. This? Common sense. It's good legislation.

Speaking for me only

    I'm feeling like a hypocrite on this issue. (5.00 / 1) (#1)

    Since health care is an important issue to me, I'm glad that the MA did this. OTOH, I really don't like the process to be manipulated. This is one of those things that I wish the laws were consist throughout all 50 states. I would prefer that a interim replacement of the same party of the original legislator be appointed until the next election in all cases.

    I know. Never going to happen.
