Kennedy Wanted to Designate His Successor

Teddy Kennedy is dead. Good riddance. Before he died, he asked the governor of Massachusetts to have the law changed to allow the governor to APPOINT his successor when he dies (he did) rather than the current method (made that way when a Republican was governor so he couldn’t appoint a Republican). This way, Kennedy can “designate” the person he wants to replace him and the Democrat governor will no doubt go along with his “suggestion” (something they didn't want to allow a Republican governor to do). He wants to make sure his “safe seat” remains “safe” in the hands of Democrats. That way he can continue to influence state and national politics even after he is dead. What chutzpa this jerk has! Too bad something like that didn't help his pregnant girlfriend when he swam off and left her to die. How this man managed to stay in office and influence national politics for so many years after this murder should be beyond me, but it isn't. He's a DEMOCRAT and they can get away with ANYTHING with minimal inconvenience. (Just common sense)
