Ailing Kennedy asks for speedy replacement process

First the Commonwealth of MA, or I should say the Demonuts in the State were afraid that the previous Governor would appoint someone fast when Kerry was running for President and changed the appointing procedure to an election. Now Kennedy, who is so full of himself wants the procedure changed again to ensure the swift appointment of another Demonut.

Folks have to realize that you can't have it both ways. An election is the only fair way to have someone fill the position. I personally don't like the appointment process because it is pure politics and the appointing official (Governor) can legally appoint him/herself. With the way Congress takes on legislation, both houses would probably do better with less in each. I would really like the chamber numbers cut in half. We don't need 435 Congressman and 100 Senators.
216 and 50 is enough. Don't even get me started on a voting member for DC.

But back to my basic comment in the first paragraph. Let the election cycle start now if Ted Kennedy wants to ensure that a Senator is in place there is an election in November; so he can resign now with an effective date of the beginning of the new session and a successor can be elected.
