I have argued before in this blog (when Burris was appointed) that governors should not have the power to select replacements to vacant Senate seats. In his last days, Senator Kennedy lobbied for a change in the election law in Massachusetts. He wants the governor to be able appoint an interim Senator to fill the seat until a special election could take place, which would happen in 3 or 4 months.
