She’ll be part of a new legacy. Unlike “Sweet Caroline”, “The Swimmer” could not be appointed to his brother’s seat in ‘61.

For nearly half a century, Edward has occupied JFK's old seat at the back of the chamber and the friends said that he regarded it as unthinkable for the hallowed chair to be occupied by an outsider after his death.

So now fellow citizens are "outsiders"? Talk about presuming an entitlement.

If memory serves me correctly Senate seats assigned to each state are retained from Senator to Senator. Therefore the seat Princess Caroline would occupy would be one of the two NY seats. Therefore I am not sure what Teddy and/or his anonymous friends are talking about when it comes to an "outsider" filling Teddy's MA Senate seat. And what MA relative would be able to retain the seat from "outsider" assault?
