No word of whether Ted would resign but right now on WBZ-TV
Boston they’re saying there would be a special election for
his seat (as their Jon Keller pointed out, in the past
the Gov. would appoint someone to serve in the interim
but they changed it in ‘04 when it looked like Kerry
would win. There was a GOP gov at that time, Romney)
IIRC Ted was elected to an umpteenth term in ‘06. Would
Ted hold on to the seat until his dying breath (even if
that took place several years from now) or would he step
down? Certainly they need more tests to see what the
course of action would be and maybe a decision will be
made to leave, if it looks extremely grim
