1. I don't care if they send Donald Duck as long as s/he votes the right
way on health Care reform!

2. He's the family's choice - makes sense to choose Kirk and let him vote...
...as Sen. Kennedy would.

3. It's only a temp job
I don't care who they send as long as they vote the way Kennedy would have until the election next year.

5. I did too but ....
He knows Teddy's staff very well and can hit the senate running. We need that right now.

6. Same here - and I agree with your point on knowing the staff
In addition, having never run for office, it is beyond clear that he is exactly what was intended - a caretaker, who will vote like Kennedy and who will allow the office to do the work they have done for MA residents.
