Meet Mo Cowan, the Temporary Senator from Massachusetts
The CBS station in Boston is reporting that Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick has selected William "Mo" Cowan to occupy Senator John Kerry's seat once Kerry is sworn in as Secretary of State today:
Cowan served as Deval Patrick's chief of staff and had been planning to step down from that position this month. He'll step down from the interim Senate appointment after a special election in June.
