If Dewhurst were to win in 2012, who would fill his seat for the 2013 leg. Session?

I would vote for Patterson any day of the week and twice on Sunday.
If Dewhurst abandons his post, secession rules would have the senate choose one of their own to act as president of the senate until the next statewide election. Because of that, Dewhurst won't get my vote for US Senate unless he resigns his current position in time for the voters to elect his replacement. If he's not committed, I can't support him.
