It is a Democrat tradition that the simple act of dying does not prevent one from retaining the right to vote. I’m surprised that Senator Kennedy doesn’t recognize this fact. He should realize that even after his death he should still be able to vote to end debate in the case of a Republican filibuster of the Health Reform Bill. I guess he’s not as smart as I thought.
"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. "
FREEP THIS POLL ***PING!*** FRmail me if you want to be added or removed from the Fearless Poll-Freeping Freepers Ping list. And be sure to ping me to any polls that need Freepin', if I miss them. (looks like a medium volume list) (gordongekko909, founder of the pinglist, stays on the list until his ghost signs up for the list)
So, does this mean MA doesn’t have the Governor appoint someone?
Guess I forget things can be different in different states.
Lloyd Bridges?
Oh, right, he’s already gone, too, I think.
They can’t win if they can’t cheat.
Will driving or sobriety tests be a prerequisite to this appointment? Perhaps they could compose a list of murderers who escaped conviction to find the right person.
UnderZer0 care, I wonder if the Swimmer would have been treated for his brain cancer??
“Teddy, based on your condition, the panel has decided that you are to receive a consultation from our death consultant. Here’s a couple of pills, and a bottle of morphine if the pain gets too bad.
“As soon as the consulting doctor clears out his backlog, probably in a few months, he’ll set up an appointment with you for about 6 weeks out.
“Meanwhile, have a nice life!”
Wonderful idea, and while we are at it, lets get rid of direct election of Senators, and have them appointed and serve at the discretion of the States.

It depends on that states constitution.
Now Kennedy wants to arm twisted a change in Mass law back to the old law so the current Dem Gov. can pick a new Senator asap
Caroline?
I just voted no, and here are the results:
Senator Kennedy has asked the state to name an interim successor for his seat, if it becomes vacant. The successor would serve for the five-month period before an election is held. Do you agree or disagree?

They’re winning. Makes me sick. They’ll put in some Kennedy wannabe...even though the people seem to be fed up with the garbage.
Kennedy: “Lord, I know I’m going straight to hell, but before I die, let me commit just one more sleazy act before judgement day”
