In case the people reading this haven't heard the talk going about around the blogosphere and a few news organizations, the ideal candidate to temporarily fill in Senator Kennedy's seat is an old, seasoned, former politician who will assuredly decline to run in the scheduled special election. Well, you guys may have differing opinions, but I believe I have found the absolute perfect candidate to fit that bill:
Michael Dukakis
I mean, come on, the man is obviously itching to return to politics and has been absolutely hungry for a national voice since he ran for the Presidency in 1988. He hasn't been involved in politics since 1991 and, since Ted's wife has pretty much declined to be appointed, this is the chance for Governor Deval Patrick to give Dukakis the national voice he never obtained. He's going to be 76 later this year and I and all the political pundits out there know he wants to have one final shot to prove to the American people what they were missing out on more than 20 years ago. I know Governor Patrick has a signed paper with Dukakis' name on it in his desk somewhere, and the second he signs the legislature's re-instatement of gubernatorial appointment, he is just itching to sign it.
I'm sure Senator Michael Dukakis will serve the state of Massachusetts very well, even though he will only be there for a few months. It's the gift to a great man who never got that kind of voice. Go get 'em, Mike!
