I wonder if Deval

[Karl F]

does romney still maintain a permanent MA residence,.. i seem to remeber him moving out of state... or, will he carpet bag back here, to try and get it...

man, that would assure us of becoming a backwater state...with 2 photo-op senators, if he does manage to get it...

Dodd and Hatch seem to be pretty loose about their desires to get Vicki into Ted's seat, even if only for short term...

if deval saw the poll showing Christy Mihos beating him, (and I am sure he did), if the election for gov was held today...he might just appoint himself.... just so he can secure some "appointed" position in DC...after his short term as Sen. was up...

meybe Joe junior will come out of his retirement in the "non-profit" sector and run for the replacement seat... doubtful... maybe he can get Pam Kelly to be his campain manager....

There is no way that any law preventing an interim Senate appointee from seeking election to the seat would ever stand up to a court challenge.

And there is nothing that would prevent Romney--or anyone else that Coupe Deval would name--from telling him to shove the appointment up his ass
