Vickie Kennedy stated plainly that she does not want to run for her late husband's seat in the US Senate.
I think, for the sake of dignity and decorum that it may be time for local democrats to take her at her word.
And in truth, a lot of people urging her to get into the race were looking for a chance to party on the banks of the Potomac under a well known banner, they weren't necessarily thinking as to whether the Widow Kennedy was a good fit with the US Senate.
So to me, a nice big well contested democratic senatorial primary is a good thing, at this point hearing what everyone has to say seems to be the best policy. The above article cites Alan Khazei, Mike Capuano, Steve Lynch and someone named Robert Pozen as likely candidates. Sans a woman with statewide reach it looks a lot like the bunch that contested for the democratic nomination in the special election, more people ought to get in and broaden the dee-bate sez Humble Elias.
At this point I'm less interested in WHO and a lot more interested in WHAT they will be saying, we ought to be discussing a platform or an agenda, something sane, broadminded, progressive in scope and focused on the economic concerns of the little guy.
Any takers?
