I heard also that he might be exhausted from his treatment for cancer. Hopefully, he'll be up and about in no time at all...

While I don't agree with him politically, I hope he gets better soon. Personally, I believe that he should step down from the Senate and concentrate on his health issues.

I think it's very likely Senator Kennedy will step down well before his term ends in 2012--his health is getting increasingly worse and we could see a successor appointed by the Governor of Massachusetts probably by 2010 at latest.

I wonder which Kennedy will step in to take his place.

Caroline has asked NY Governor to remove her name from HRC's Senate Seat.:(
