One Small Step for an Elector, One Giant Leap for the Electorate

Well, what do you know?

Joe Kennedy decided today that he would not run to fill the Senate seat vacated by his uncle, Ted Kennedy.

I should note that Joe Kennedy held a House seat for six terms, from 1987 to 1999, but his tenure in the House was not a particularly stellar one. Were his last name not Kennedy, it would be difficult to say that he was better qualified than any of the current Massachusetts House delegation. And perhaps his not entering the race will make the media pay attention to the actual policies that the actual candidates—none named Kennedy— might actually propound.
