You may recall that a similar situation occurred when Mitt Romney was the governor of Massachusetts. He was supposed to pick somone to fill a Congressional seat. But do the fact he would likely pick a Republican, the state legislature changed the rules. They passed a law that required the seat remain open until it could be filled through a general election. The article below only mentions it in passing, but the legislature changed the rule back, giving the governor the power to fill the seat, after Kennedy's death since they currently is a Democrat holding the governor position.
