3. If Kerry leaves the Senae, the MA governor would name a temporary replacement

until an election could be held.

That replacement would be a D. If MA has learned its lesson from Teddy's death, they would place a D in that seat who had a great chance of winning the subsequent election. The power of incumbency would help.

I'd prefer Kerry just stay in the Senate.
