According to the New York Times, former DNC Chairman Paul Kirk might have the inside track to getting the interim U.S. Senate appointment from Massachusetts.
Senior Democrats in Washington said they believed that former Gov. Michael Dukakis "was out of the running and would not be named. Other possibilities include Evelyn Murphy, a former lieutenant governor; and Charles Ogletree, a professor at Harvard Law School."
The Boston Globe says late Sen. Ted Kennedy's two sons, Rep. Patrick Kennedy (D-RI) and Ted Kennedy Jr., have told Gov. Deval Patrick (D) that Kirk is their first choice to fill their father's seat.
