Reply #111: Indications are that Kennedy is more progressive than Clinton, however...

[JackRiddler]

my objection is to the process by which the media call the appointment. For the zillionth time: Clinton won it by vote, and Kennedy can go for the same if she wishes. But not like this. And now she's even campaigning publicly, which is unprecedented and kind of outrageous for an appointment. It's a not very subtle way of pressuring the governor.
