Makes me wonder, what is he trying to hide?
But there is the little thing about election. Do the Massachusetts voters simply nod their heads when told by their political betters what to acquiesce in?
I should have thought they’d have more dignity.
Guess not.

And the pathetic electorate of MA will re-elect her till she dies. That obviously is the Kennedy seat in the Senate and no one else need apply.
This is mildly surprising.
How does one INHERIT a Senate seat?
That isn’t covered in Kennedy’s inheritence tax is it?
Can we pick over the distribution of his estate and see how many tax shelters he used?

That’s not gonna fly here. There are too many democrats salivating over that seat. And I don’t think the people will go for it either. The Senate isn’t the House of Lords. Time to give somebody else a chance. 1952 to 2008 is long enough.
Sadly, not unlike other political families....
He knows nothing of our history....or refuses to acknowledge it.
I fear for my country...........
Maybe if she doesn’t want it we can give the Senate seat to his landscaper or whoever else Ted wants.
Well, most of my sympathy just evaporated... that is revolting.
Nikki Tsongas Redux!
If she can win an election - it’s fine with me. But to give? Nah. It’s as if Kennedy gave her the moon — and she tried to collect. It’s just not his to “give” away.
Hasn’t this come up a few times before, like with Mary Bono Mack?
Don’t they know about the Glass Ceiling?
Not even Ted.
Massachusetts Democrats are going to want to give his seat to someone who might stand a chance of re-election.
Deval Patrick is capable of anything, but I doubt whether his handlers would let him do this, even if he agreed. Too much risk of letting a RINO get in when the term is up.
That’s wrong. The people should be the ones to decide.
Sarcasm aside, I vehemently disagree with Ted's politics and public behavior, I do feel a bit sorry for a man who has shouldered so much sorrow, like the untimely deaths of 4 siblings, including 2 who were assassinated. God only knows how any of us might react. Prayers for repentence and either a quick recovery or the grace of a happy death, and a quicker retirement in any event.
Then what are the consequences of that? Can Republicans file suit to block such a law on the grounds that this action makes obvious the ploy to deny only a Republican governor the Senate appointment power in MA?
