"Sounds like he would like the Kennedy Dynasty to roll on ! "
Ted Kennedy has made clear to confidants that when his time is up, he wants his Senate seat to stay in the family - with his wife, Vicki. Multiple sources in Massachusetts with close ties to the liberal lion say his wife of 16 years has long been his choice to continue carrying the family flame in the Senate. Kennedy won the seat in 1962; his brother John held it from 1953 to 1960. "There's no question that he'd like Vicki to continue in his seat," said one Massachusetts Democrat with ties to the Camelot clan who spoke to Kennedy recently, before his health crisis. "She's smart, and smart politically."
The 54-year-old Victoria Reggie Kennedy, a former hotshot Washington lawyer, is a Louisiana native and the daughter of a politically active judge.
She was hailed for holding the family together when John F. Kennedy Jr. was killed in a plane crash in 1999. By favoring his wife, Kennedy, 76, is bypassing his late brother Robert Kennedy's eldest son, Joe, a former congressman.
Joe Kennedy has been maligned publicly for a messy divorce and close ties with Venezuelan strongman Hugo Chavez, who assists his Boston-based fuel company for the poor.

Well, what do you expect? It to be just handed over to a peasant? It clearly states it must be someone of royal blood. ....oh, wait. :whatever:

What is this? Bloody England (no offense Bijou! :-) ) We don't have Lord and Earls and crap with stuff passing though families. Let her get elected on her own merits or not at all.
Hey Ted... :bird:

Who possibly could succeed Sen. Edward Kennedy
Is Ward Churchill busy? What about Jeremiah Wright? Is Mugabe allowed to be a US Senator? What's the law on that?

When did Massachusetts become a Monarchy? Did I miss the elevation of “Kennedy†to a noble tittle?More and more I see our Republic mirroring the end of the Roman Republic, where the Consulship and other offices were the property of a few corrupt Patrician families.

I'd like to be the first to suggest William Rivers Pitt! He's got the pedigree, and the alcholism. :evillaugh:

Under current Massachusetts law, his successor for the rest of his term, which ends in 2012, would be picked by special election. State rules that allowed the governor to pick a temporary replacement were changed in 2004 when John Kerry was the presidential nominee and the Democratic state legislature feared then-GOP Gov. Mitt Romney would appoint a fellow Republican if Kerry won.
Sure hope that doesn't come back to bite them in the a$$. :sarcasm:

They can always change it back. Rules and laws are like wet Play-Doh to socialists.

That's true enough. It's clear the voters there could give a darn. I've been consistantly heartbroken in my lifetime by the fact that the State first and formost to fight for independence has been leading the charge to go back to Europe in search of leadership.

Why do the people in his state continue to blindly reelect him? Is it battered constituent syndrome?

Consider All of the young college kids brainwashed at Harvard
And Four of The original now totally liberal Seven Sisters are in Massachusetts :
Wellesley College, Wellesley, Massachusetts,
Smith College, Northampton, Massachusetts
Radcliffe College, Cambridge, Massachusetts,
Mount Holyoke College, South Hadley, Massachusetts .
A large number of these now liberal indoctrinated critters stay in Massachusetts and flood the state with elected critters as liberal as they are.
Kennedy is re_elected for a number of reasons partly because of his brother John perceived martyrdom .Partly because the professors at school are mostly aged hippies who still bask in the Glory's of Viet Nam war protests that they were part of And an instilled hatred of all thing military because of that war.

And yet the mass exodus from Mass. continues. I turned on the NRA radio show the other night and the host was talking about why so many people are leaving the state. We all know the reasons but the real thing that isn't mentions is that the veryu same people that are leaving are some of the very same idiots that voted for Higher taxes and more Health care and Anti Gun Laws and for the trads that got those laws passed. I have no sympathy for anyone stupid enough to vote for liberal ideas then the first chance they get they bail on the state when it becomes to hard for them to live there rather then fight to make changes.

Unfortunately, legacy political seats are passed along in the U.S. all the time.
