God help us.
Kennedy name carries the cache of philandering, drunken behaviour, waitress sandwiches, and a campaign worker left to drown.
New definition of cache.
Maybe zer0bama by imperial fiat will appoint the appropriate Kennedy lord high Senator from Mass-of-2-$h!t$.
Oh yeah, Joe III is a GREAT replacement! /s
Didn’t he get in a car accident while drunk or stoned and leave a girl paralysed for life? Those Kennedy boys sure know how to treat a girl right:
1) Father of nine, Joe Sr, cheats on wife with movie star
2) JFK cheater
3) RFK cheater
4) EMK cheater: first wife turns into drunk
5) Joe III cheater; tries to get marriage to first wife (twin kids) annulled
American “royalty”, my a**
Victoria Kennedy née Reggie is from *Louisiana*. There is no way that she would be considered for a Massachusetts senate seat. Heck, she'll be lucky if the Kennedys don't have all the doors at the "family compound" re-keyed while she's at the wake.
Massachusetts needs to go with someone outside the Kennedy family, if for no other reason than to demonstrate that public offices belong to the people, not to dynastic families. I say that as someone whose state is overrun with dynasties.
I'm confused, does that mean she is or isn't really interested in the seat?
Maybe Massachusetts will be invited to tiptoe through the tulips with Miss Vicki...
Like nonoe of them are interested, pleasseeeee... right now there are probably enough Kennedys moving into Boston to have their own rotten borough.
I probably share the view with most of here that that Kennedy made a colossal mistake. When he learned that he had terminal cancer, he should have approached the Massachusetts legislature immediately, and requested a change in the law to allow the Governor to appoint someone in the event of Kennedy's death. There would have been plenty of time and the appointment would have been made a short time after Kennedy's death.
As the law is now, the people have a right to replace Kennedy via an election. Sure, the legislature can change the law back, but it has to wait until AFTER the election to replace Kennedy.
Nevertheless, my suggestion is that a lawsuit should be filed in State Court to compel the Secretary of State to schedule an election. Simultaneously someone of stature on the Republican side should file as a candidate.
If the State won't set an election, and the State Supreme Court rules favorably for the Democrats, then it can be filed in Federal Court. The Republicans, if they have their own Lion, can either force an election, or tie the Senate seat up for a couple of years. No Liberal vote for Cap 'N Trade, Obamadeathcare, and Amnesty.
Look for Caroline to pack her bags and move to Boston.
What about this new poll out that conservatives outweigh liberals in every state? Where is the mention of a conservative or somewhat conservative Republican running AND winning? Now is not the time to just cede this seat to the Democrats.
