Former Massachusetts Gov. Michael Dukakis, the 1988 Democratic presidential nominee, may be headed back to the political spotlight as he’s considered a likely interim replacement for Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.).
President Obama is set to tap Kerry to succeed Hillary Clinton as secretary of State, according to media reports.
This means Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick (D) needs to find someone to fill Kerry’s seat until a special election can be held in the late spring or early summer.
Dukakis, who is 79, has remained politically active. He campaigned for Sen.-elect Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) this fall and teaches at Northeastern University.
Their pool of choices is about 1/2 inch deep it seems. Hey, why not tap Caroline Kennedy? Did she do something to make the MA power structure angry or something? What about Matt Damon? Born and raised around Boston, attended Haavaaahd and spouts boilerplate progressive nonsense with relative ease.

If I recall correctly, CK lives on Long Island at the present. (And, I'm not sure she is 100% sold out/bought in with this marxist regime.) I could be wrong on both counts however.

Which is worse? Michael Dukakis or another Kennedy? There a many of them living that would be glad to take it.

Same difference. Our senate is already a nightmare. You could make a mask out of Harry Reid's hateful face and scare the dickens out of kids at halloween.
