BREAKING: MA Gov. Deval Patrick holds news conference on Kennedy Senate seat

By GottaLaff

MSNBC is airing the press conference as I type this.

Deval Patrick supports a special election, but wants to work on legislation for an interim appointment for the five months until the election happens to ensure Massachusetts representation in the Senate.

January 19, 2010 will be the date for the special election.

Again, Vicki Kennedy says she's not interested.
