He might have even been successful at getting his wish w/r/t selecting the person he wanted to follow him. But he would have had to file for re-election no later than December of 2011, when his health had shown much improvement following the liver transplant. I'm guessing he and his family had those conversations, and their decisions should be respected (by all decent people, that is). <br /><br />Rick Perry made certain this seat was neutered for as long as possible.

A selfish man chose to seek reelection to an office when it was clear that medically he would be unable to fulfill it. Had Mario Garcia had any concern for the people of his district, he would have stepped aside allowed the normal political process to determine his successor so that SD6 would have had a Senator from the beginning of the legislative session.
