"“The Republicans will say, ‘Isn’t this terrible,’ but the Democrats have nothing to apologize for as long as the temporary appointee is not a candidate for the permanent seat.”

This is how it's done.
When you have a Democratic Governor and the State Legislature is 88% Democratic you don't give right wing cry babies the time of day.
You get a firm commitment from the replacement he will not run in the upcoming election (because incumbents are at a huge advantage) and ensure your State has full representation in the Senate.
Then the GOP can get blown out in the Special election by whoever the new Democratic candidate is.
