Yes, a MN governor named Anderson did that when HHH died. He failed to hold the seat.
It would be foolhardy for Barbour to name himself after being reelected only this month.

Can a governor appoint himself senator to fill a vacant spot? Not directly but he can in resign with the undstanding he will be appointed to the job by the Lt Gov. that replaces them.We had a Minnesota Gov do that in the 1970s or 80s.
