Reply #134: I'd prefer to choose for myself,

No offense to Teddy or his wife, I simply don't know enough about her abilities and her politics to be comfortable "giving her a shot" on his say so. I think it would be complete scumbaggery if the state legislature now decided that since Romney is gone, they can change the rules again back to a governor's appointment situation. Despite their political reasons for doing so, the special election was the right thing to do and should stay. I'd have no issues if she chooses to run, and I'd look forward to hearing her making the case for herself, but we have a number of potential candidates who have well established credentials, and I'd hate to see his endorsement used to strong arm them out of the race.
