I love the guy....

Hones-ly. I Love The Guy !!!!!

I found an article discussing how Teddy's illness has united the family but it does not speculate on when he may return to The Senate.

I know he was not well enough to come to D.C. and accept his Medal Of Freedom last week.On Tweety's show today he speculated that Ted won't be well enough to vote on the Health Care Bill a week before Halloween.If Sen. Kennedy is so ill that we can count on him not showing up for a vote this important, both to him and to our country, is it time to think about his stepping down as Senator? (His son, Rep. Patrick Kennedy son would make an excellent replacement IMO)


I hate the thought of that too, but it might be best for everyone. Does he really need the pressure of being a sitting Senator when he is desperately ill.


I don't know what the MA rules are for replacing a Senator that resigns but I assume the Gov. can appoint someone, and we do have a Dem in that office (with an approval rating of about 19%).


Sorry if this seems cold or unfeeling, I wish the guy nothing but the best. Unfortunately he isn't the only person who's health is on the line right now.
