Some folks might be surprised that the Kennedy family doesn’t consider Vicki to be part of the ‘legend’. There’s a fair chance that while Vicki might be appointed to the spot...it’s only a four-month period then before an election would occur, and some would speculate that at least one other Kennedy (a pure Kennedy) would put their name onto the ballot, just out of dislike for the widow.
Vicki would have to spend money to defend her spot against the family, and then against some Republican candidate. She may realize that’s a tough episode to enter into. On the positive side....she’s buddy-buddy with the entire state Democratic Party leadership.
“On the positive side....she’s buddy-buddy with the entire state Democratic Party leadership.”
That’s like saying the lice are friends with the fleas...
Republicans should play a trick which the Dems like to use against Republicans—run a third party straw candidate. If I knew of a wack-a-doodle leftist party, I would gladly donate to the cause. I caught a bit of news about Dems doing this to Republicans last month. Republicans should wise up and realize that the Democrats have no honor, if they do it to us, let’s do it to them.
