Vicki Kennedy should be considered as a potential interim replacement for her late husband in the U.S. Senate, lawmakers from both sides of the aisle said Sunday.
"I think Vicki ought to be considered," Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) said on CNN's "State of the Union."
"She's a very brilliant lawyer. She's a very solid individual," Hatch said of Sen. Edward Kennedy's widow. "She certainly made a difference in Ted's life, let me tell you. And I have nothing but great respect for her."
Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.), a close friend of Ted Kennedy, said he too would be supportive of Vicki Kennedy if she wanted the job. So far, she's told friends she's not interested.

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.
In Massachusetts, democracy means choosing your favorite Kennedy.
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.
Hatch has always been a shill.He believes in the good ole boy network.
By their own law they need to have an election!
Is there even a provision in Mass. law allowing a temporary replacement pending a special election?
"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?
Why doesn’t he just Spectorize.
Hey,there is no law in Ma.because they just make it up as they go along.
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.
