1) You can say that Ted Kaufman is qualified to serve two years in the Senate, that he will (like LBJ) serve out his predecessor’s term in honor of the man whose shoe (he will state) he has no hopes of filling. And you can say that with this pick Ruth Ann Minner has done the right thing in not installing a Senator, but is allowing the voters to choose in two years.
2) You can say that th above rationalization is is transparent bullshit and that Joe Biden has now rigged the seat for Beau Biden.
Unless you are a child you know which one is correct and which one is spin, and unless you are an idiot you know which one Ron Williams is going to go with in his next column.
