[quote=Anonymous]I'm not in Maryland so I haven't been following the issue, but I'd need clarity on what "as determined by the central committee of the relevant political party" means. Ultimately I'd want appointments made by someone accountable to the voters. There's something to be said for preserving party affiliation, but I'd be very concerned if the elected person who left the office were a moderate of the party but the unelected powers that be within the party determined that only party extremists (in either direction) were appropriate for consideration. Obviously the same argument can be made about a governor in their second term who thus won't be running for re-election, though.[/quote]
