The Massachusetts House voted late Thursday to change state law to give Democratic Gov. Deval Patrick the power to appoint a temporary successor to the late U.S. Sen. Ted Kennedy until a special election is held early next year.

The vote has drawn controversy because a 2004 change in the law stripped then Republican Gov. Mitt Romney of the power to appoint a successor if Democratic Sen. John Kerry would have won the presidency.

The measure approved Thursday still must be approved by the state Senate and signed by Patrick to become law.

Democrats, who control Congress and the White House, want to maintain a potentially filibuster-proof majority of 60 seats in the Senate as key votes loom on the president's top domestic priorities, including health care reform and climate change legislation.

Gee MG, I think that such a questionable (and blatantly partisan) manuever by the Massachusetts State House was predicted by someone here, on this very board
