Kennedy dynasty’s new hope
Joe III refuses to rule out run for Barney’s seat

Middlesex prosecutor Joseph P. Kennedy III — widely seen as the best hope to carry the torch of the legendary family dynasty to a new generation — told the Herald last night he is leaving the door open to a run for Congress.
“I just haven’t had the time to give it any thought, the type of careful consideration that it requires,†Kennedy said outside Cambridge District Court. “I’ve always thought politics is an honorable profession. It demands that you give it careful thought before you jump into it. When I get the time to do that, I’ll think about it, but we’re not there yet.â€
Kennedy — the son of former U.S. Rep. Joseph P. Kennedy II, grandson of Robert F. Kennedy and grandnephew of President John F. Kennedy — was one of several Democrats whose name has emerged as a possible contender for U.S. Rep. Barney Frank’s seat after the 16-term congressman announced his retirement two days ago.

Speculation intensified yesterday that Joseph P. Kennedy III would jump into the race to replace U.S. Rep. Barney Frank, as one Kennedy insider laid out a path for the 31-year-old prosecutor to resurrect the family dynasty.
“You couldn’t create a better candidate,†said a source close to the Kennedy family. “He’s very seriously considering this. ... It won’t be a flip decision. It’ll be based on what good he thinks he can do and his ability to succeed.â€
Kennedy, who told the Herald on Tuesday he’s leaving the door open to a run for Congress, would have instant name recognition and access to millions in campaign cash via his family name and connections.
Even though he’s a scion of a legendary political dynasty, he could also position himself as an outsider in an election year likely to be brutal to incumbents and career pols, the source said. He speaks fluent Spanish and spent two years in the Dominican Republic for the Peace Corps — big pluses in a district with a growing Latino population, the source said.
