Nepotism at it’s finest, Kennedy by injection.

That is typical of how these politicians operate. The Senate seat does not belong to the people of the State of Massachusetts. It belongs to them and they can give it to anyone they want.

“Ted Kennedy: I’d like wife to take seat”
...actually, there’s room for 3 or 4 in Ted’s seat!

She’s going to have to win it. Massachusetts doesn’t appoint replacements to senate seats.
To: rightwingintelligentsia
State law requires a special election for the seat no sooner than 145 days and no later than 160 days after a vacancy occurs. The law bans an interim appointee.

Not like it hasn’t happened before. Sonny Bono’s wife replaced him, of course that was through a special election, but she gained the nomination because of the relationship.

“The Senate seat does not belong to the people of the State of Massachusetts. It belongs to them and they can give it to anyone they want.”
True, but look who they “give” votes to in MA...kennedy, kerry, barney frank...
To: rightwingintelligentsia
Howie Carr would definitely be a much better choice as a successor, not that it’s really going to happen. People in Massachusetts are also throwing around Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick, Rep. Ed Markey, and Rep. Patrick Kennedy of R.I. as possible successors. Whoever is going to succeed Ted Kennedy is going to be a very socialistic individual, so truly conservative R’s and conservatives in general shouldn’t waste their time and effort truly hoping for the best with this seat or with any other major political seat in Massachusetts.

just another example of the “entitlement” mentality - unbelievable. i was feeling so sympathetic until this - once a politician, always a politician, even when your life is threatened.

Damn, 46 years in the Senate. That about sums up the problem with our political system.

Why just his wife? Why not ensure family succesion by having Splash (the swimmer’s dog) take Jon Cary’s seat as well?
In any case, IF Hussein wins the elections, Jon Cary might well be nominated as Sec. of Defense (he served in Vietnam, you know).
