No Senate Seat for Vicki Kennedy
2009-09-02
George Stephanapoulos: The trial balloon launched yesterday by Kennedy friends Chris Dodd and Orrin Hatch isn't going anywhere. A solid source assures me that Vicki Kennedy won't run in a special election to fill the Massachusetts Senate seat. She's not interested in an interim appointment if it becomes available.

Governor Deval Patrick is making an announcement about the special election at 3:00 today, likely setting a date.

A joint committee of the Mass. legislature will hold its first hearing on the succession legislation September 9th.

#2  She doesn't want it because she's been told not to want it.

She's a lightweight and would be a placeholder for whoever the Kennedy family would put up in time.

What's happening here is that the other Massachusetts pols have brought out the knives and made it clear that one of them wants the seat.

#1  So, in other words, the only reason she won't inherit the seat is that she doesn't want it.
