#4 Ted Kennedys wife, Vicki, and his nephew, former congressman Joe Kennedy, are getting set for a bruising battle over who will succeed the ailing senator...

#5 Won't be as easy as it used to be. When an Evil Republican was in charge and the Kerry juggernaut was running for president, the dems on beacon Hill changed it from governor appointed to special election.
