Ted Kennedy: I'd like wife to take seat

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.

...

By favoring his wife, Kennedy, 76, is bypassing his late brother Robert Kennedy's eldest son, Joe, a former congressman.

...

Under current Massachusetts law, his successor for the rest of his term, which ends in 2012, would be picked by special election.

...

Political pros, however, say a dying Kennedy's endorsement of Vicki would likely carry enormous weight with state voters.

Man is made by his belief. As he believes, so he is.

He should recommend Mary Jo Kopechne for his seat.

Oh, wait. He can't. She's dead.

I see, so Ted Kennedy is ready for Barack's new page in US politics - being one of his fans and all. No 'entitlement' here at all. Move along.

I live in the state at which he serves. He have helped the immigrants communities here to succeed.

Immigrant communities up and down the eastern seaboard have thrived well before Teddy Kennedy ever showed up, and they will continue to do so well after he is gone.

The issue reported isn't if Ted is a good/bad/indifferent politician or indeed if Vicki would or wouldn't make a great senator it's the idea that he can somehow 'pass on' his seat to a member of his family AND be a prominant Barack Obama supporter. Talk about pots and kettles that are black.

Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.
