King thinks his name is a synonym for the original position that King represents. You have to earn it Peter. He is the republican symbol of know it all accomplish nothing. He likes to see his face on TV.

kennedy best choice!

Now if there was just some sort of double jeopardy that would get King out of his seat when he loses. Guys a fascist.

Just what we need, an eight term Republican. They still, just don't get it! I hope Kennedy gets the nod and watch 2010 go 80% for Kennedy. Even as that happens, the Republicans still won't get it. They have become the party of the dinosaur. Old ideas, old tactics, just plain old and tired.

he wants to run aginst who ever is appointed to the seat. read the article it says run for election in 2010.

This is concerning the election that will happen in 2010, not for the immediate appointment. Since the Governor of New York is a Democrat, the appointment will go to a Democrat, but New York State law apparently requires an election to fill the Senate seat for the remainder of the term after two years are served by an appointee.

Not that it matters to me, but shouldn't Clinton's seat be given to another demorcrat, since that's what the people voted for?

Well, if he had enough money he could buy the seat from the Governor.

This guy looks like the lead vampire in that movie 30 days of night

Go for it King! We need more Republicans in the Senate.

Isn't he the one who, while on the campaign trial, made derogatory remarks to the young hispanic man? He's not the one!

WHAT A JOKE!! ALL THE TIME HE SENT UNDER THE BUSH ROOF MAKES HIM NOT ONLY QUESTIONABLE BUT ILLOGICAL. HE IS PART OF THAT OLD THAT HAS TO BE THROWN OUT WITH THE WASH WATER. WE TRULY BELIEVE THAT SOME POLITICIANS THINK THE PEOPLE IS IN SOME KIND OF TIME WARP AND DON'T REMEMBER THE "DO-NOTHINGS" WHEN IT COMES TO THE PEOPLE'S BUSINESS.
WE CAN ONLY HOPE THAT THE PEOPLE OF NEW YORK DON'T FORGET.

Good, glad to see blunderin Billary go make a fool of herself a second time in the White House.

Good riddance to bad rubbish. King couldn't be any worse than President wanna be Hillary.

And while we're at it, lets see that moron Paterson thrown out on his butt. He doesn't do anything positive and only caters to his party's ideology in the few moves he makes as Gov.

This is NY. Republicans have no chance of winning that seat.

The vultures are circling....

Well, somebody needs to lose to Caroline Kennedy.

It might as well be him. Congratulations Rep. King!

At least this guy wouldn't be getting it because of money, fame and/or surname.

Is that Dan Akroyd? OMG!!!

It'll be a cold day in hell..
