Did you read any of the comments on Boston.com that spoke about this outrageous idea. There was at least 14 to 30 pages on each article that told Teddy boy that no way this is going to happen and that he should rot a not so nice place.
Out of all of that, there might have been one nice comment. No one that I know in Massachusetts wants this to happen and they have quite a racket going here. I believe they rig everything. What a corrupt state and I unfortunately live in it.
I was not part of this poll and they are lying through their teeth.
there is no such thing as an interum senator. The pubs should make it clear that they will fillabuster the appointment.
It is about time someone said it. I have been reading all the comments and everyone seems to think the poll is on the up and up. I call BS. How any FReeper can believe any poll is truthful is beyond me. I would be if they actually put this to a vote the people would not allow this to happen. They are well aware the rules were just changed so a Republican(RINO)governor couldn't appoint someone, now they want it back the other way. I don't know why the legislature doesn't just make two rules, one for Republicans and one for Democrats, who ever happens to be governor at the time. Democrats get to appoint, Republicans have to put it to a vote.
This hypocritical POS, Kennedy, should have resigned last year when he first discovered he had incurable brain cancer. He hangs on for fear he might not have power right to the end.
I doubt if he is the one saying they should appoint someone anyway, I doubt his brain is even functioning beyond the basic life sustaining functions.
