The trial balloon of Vicki Kennedy either being appointed to, or running for, the Senate seat of her late husband is not happening.
Earlier today we wrote about the possibility of Kennedy's widow serving in the Senate. ABC News' George Stephanopoulos says the scenario "isn't going anywhere":
A solid source assures me that Vicki Kennedy won't run in a special election to fill the Massachusetts Senate seat. She's not interested in an interim appointment if it becomes available.
The host of ABC's "This Week" also reports that a joint committee of the Massachusetts state legislature will hold its first hearing on the succession legislation September 9.
