Ted Kennedy has died.

The gov of MA used to be able to appoint for a vacant seat, but, I think it was in '04, that was changed to a special election. Earlier this year Kennedy tried to change it back to an appointment.

When Kerry was running for POTUS it was changed to a special election to prevent a Republican gov from appointing the seat. Now that a Democrat is gov Kennedy wanted it changed back to an appointment. Ive heard even the MSM, not just Fox, is calling foul, something about hypocrisy and all that. I think it was Kennedy who pushed to have the law changed the first time, but I could be wrong on that.

I looked through Edward's voting record today, I cant say I was impressed.

Thoughts and prayers to the Kennedy and Kopechne families.

"I looked through Edward's voting record today, I cant say I was impressed."

Why am I not surprised?

I heard on the radio today that Sen Kennedy asked for the governer to appoint someone until the special election is held. Not sure if I caught that right but that's what I understood.

I have not had the local news on at all today, as I had calling hours to attend as a very dear elderly friend of mine passed away. This would have been her 96th birthday, so I preferred to keep the focus on her today.

Karen, what are calling hours? I am sorry for your loss. 96 years, that is a long life.
