If by chance Ted Kennedy cannot finish out his Senate term, which expires in 2012, who would be the person to take over the seat?
Kennedy himself is said to favor his second wife, Vicki, 54, a Washington attorney who founded an organization, Common Sense About Kids and Guns. In a way she would be an odd choice because she has kept a low profile in the sixteen years she has been married to Kennedy. On the other hand, she is from a well-known Louisiana political family, the Reggies, who knew and were friends with the Kennedy family for decades.
I hope nothing happens to force Ted Kennedy out of his job, but we will have to wait and see about this.
Aside from a brief period (1961-1963), a Kennedy has held that Senate seat since 1953.
