What a sickening thought: Senator Mike Dukakis

...even if it's only temporary....it's still sickening.
Former Massachusetts Gov. Michael Dukakis, the 1988 Democratic presidential nominee, may be headed back to the political spotlight as he’s considered a likely interim replacement for Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.). 
President Obama is set to tap Kerry to succeed Hillary Clinton as secretary of State, according to media reports. 
This means Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick (D) needs to find someone to fill Kerry’s seat until a special election can be held in the late spring or early summer. Dukakis, who is 79, has remained politically active. He campaigned for Sen.-elect Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) this fall and teaches at Northeastern University. 
The Democratic primary for Kerry’s seat will be intense and Patrick is expected to tap someone as an interim replacement who would promise not to run in the special election.

And who can forget his 1988 answer to the Death Penalty question when he was running for President? I think he even lost his wife's vote with this one:
