Since the death of Senator Edward M. Kennedy, sources have said that Paul Kirk is to take his place. Kirk has been a longtime friend and co worker of Kennedy since the 1980s. Although the facts have not been stated true, one of the Kennedy's family friends told CNN that they would prefer no one else than Kirk to take the place of Kennedy. He is to announce is acceptance for the Senate seat at 11 a.m. today, thursday September 24th, at the Statehouse in Boston. Lawmakers in Massachusets voted last Wednesday to have Kirk fill the senate seat for Kennedy. As of now the measure will not be in effect for anouther 90 days unless two thirds of the house senate vote to bypass the amount of days.
After reading the article about Kirk and about his backround, I think he would be a great senator. Knowing that he is a family friend of the Kennedy's and Edwards co worker for many years, you know that he is a dependable person. The death of Kennedy was trajic and the nation is sad to see a wonderful senator die, but i do believe that Kirk can bring to the table just as much as Kennedy did. THey were great friends and they might even be close to the same type of people.
