What's the answer to the question?
What question?
Any question.
The answer to any question is: Whatever benefits the Democrats most.
Before 2004 the law in Massachusetts was that if a vacancy opened up, the governor chose the successor. However, with a Republican by the name of Mitt Romney in the Governor's Mansion at that time, the Democrats couldn't risk it with Kerry running for president. What if Kerry beat Bush? So, they lobbied to have the law changed.
Now, however, Kennedy's health could cause his seat to become vacant, and now the governor is a Democrat. So, they wish to have the law changed back so that the Democrat governor can name the successor to insure the seat remains in the hands of a Democrat. After all, they can't run the risk of a Republican winning in a special election, could they?
Typical Democrat tactics. Ethics and fair play mean nothing. But, hey, how can you be a hypocrite if you have no standards to begin with?
I present to you the Democratic Party - The party of no standards, no ethics, and no way to win unless they cheat, lie, and pretend to be more conservative than they are during the campaigns.
