He was expressly asked a hypothetical, but looky-here, the word from Boston is that she is “very much interested” in the seat—as is nephew Joe:

“”I think Vicki ought to be considered,” Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) said”

Do you people in UTAH have a special RECALL Law? If not, there’s All the evidence you need to Pass one.

I read a Rasmussen poll just yesterday that claimed some 57% of the country wants to overturn congress. 70% if you asked Republicans.

If we as a country are serious about stopping these dynasty elections, then we need to start taking action now.

Kennedy family members and friends are pitching both Vicki and Joe on a Senate bid.

In Massachusetts, democracy means choosing your favorite Kennedy.

"I think Vicki ought to be considered," Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) said on CNN's "State of the Union."

Who the hell are Orrin Hatch and Chris Dodd to decide on whom should represent Massachusetts in the Senate? They should both, Hatch especially, STFU.

I suppose they could both become Senator. Vicki on an interim basis, and Joe at the election.

Yes, though if the interim bit won’t hold up in court, it could be a long-term prize. I could also see that clause being dropped for the widow, but not so easily for the nephew.

I'm reminded of the recording of one of those Kennedy voice impressionists from the 60's and 70's. On one of the albums was a very very short cut that simply said ...

"Today is election day. VOTE! Vote for the Kennedy of your chioce, but VOTE!"

According to Rasmussen, 57% of America agrees that they all should go.
As Shakespeare said “’tis a consummation devoutly to be wished”.
It would be nice to raise a very large flag for all of them to see that would tell all of them JUST THAT.
But HOW to muster enough challengers?

I dont even recognize these people as Republicans anymore. They have SO sold out, SO gone over to the "dark side."

Hey I'm all for cleaning house but the libs have gerrymandered themselves into safe districts coast to coast. I live in Maryland. Mikulski is up next fall. The only remote chance that she'll be unseated is if former Gov Erlich(R) runs. He's no prize. And there's no way Steny, Van Hollen, Cummings, or that whackjob Donna Edwards are going to get tossed out of the House. They've promised all the slackers big chunks of your paycheck and free healthcare.
