He's trying to change election rulesagain.
Senator Ted Kennedy, who is gravely ill with brain cancer, has sent a letter to Massachusetts lawmakers requesting a change in the state law that determines how his Senate seat would be filled if it became vacant before his eighth full term ends in 2012. Current law mandates that a special election be held at least 145 days after the seat becomes available. Mr. Kennedy is concerned that such a delay could leave his fellow Democrats in the Senate one vote short of a filibuster-proof majority for months while a special election takes place.

The SWIMMER did not write that letter. His staff did.
I was thinking, is Ted seeing some polls which might indicate that the rats might lose the seat if a special election is held? If the rats in Mass begin considering this, then I would assume that polling data is showing big problems, even in this blue state.
Well, gee, Ted, if you want it, you got it. We’re here to serve you till your dying day.

Can’t be much worse than my response #7 ...
MaryJo is waiting for him!
Even approaching death, he has chosen evil over good.
I’ll bet, above all, he wants to live.
Maybe he’s not the originator of the bill...just a signer?
If Kennedy had done the responsible thing and resigned his Senate seat as soon as his cancer was diagnosed, this wouldn’t be an issue now. Just like Clinton, he should have departed when ethics dictated it was time to go. But Democrats think ethics are something only Republicans have and only that so they can be exploited for political purposes.
He's probably got a good idea where he's headed. So, you bet he wants to live!
Ted
you old gristled POS, would someone please smack this leech off the gov’t teat, already!
the world won’t miss this piece of sh!t the moment its gone. Aside from running to hide his coward @ss from a drowning a young girl he was running with while married, this POS has ruined countless lives as a so called lion of the left. (a lion has courage) this clown is a liar. A liar to God, and REAL AMERICANS . it has countless followers and admirers, so does satan, so what.
die now an be gone ted the coward kennedy, f. u.
If karma really does exist, he shouldn’t die of cancer—he should drown in his own bedpan.
I tend to agree with you.
It is unbelievable that all these elderly (and some of them senile) senators and congresspeople would rather die in office than do the right thing by resigning or at least grooming and promoting a successor. This one failing, above all else, shows their lack of character, selfishness, and complete disregard for the people they are supposed to represent.
I’m guessing he would think the same, regardless of his beliefs.
