Actually, if they were stupid enough to change the law....then appoint her (which is a temp appointment anyway)...you end up with a very weak candidate. Vicki is not much of a public speaker, and to be honest...Vicki is not a true Kennedy. I think most Republicans in the state view Vicki as a imaginary “Ted” that simply fixes the current problem and lacks any concrete structure. By latching onto Vicki...you create an easy candidate to beat in a real election.
Plus I think on top of it, in one of the newsstories, she did say no, but you never know.
