Play from 0:00[0:00]" This is Lisa Meyer and the WBZ newsroom we're talking at WBZ senior political analyst John Henning. About all the talk that's been taking place for the last day or two. About the possibility of former DNC chair Paul Kirk filling the vacancy left by the death of Senator Kennedy on an interim basis obviously here's a rich political history here."

Play from 0:20[0:20]" All -- piston goes way back his father was to judge she's been. An intimate of Ted Kennedy's for years. He with the chairman of the Democratic Party and and served on the presidential commission on approach on the debates the president's. Presidential candidate. And everybody in the Democratic Party knows him pretty well he's well liked. He skipped his nose clean and he stayed under the radar is a neighbor of the Kennedy down on Cape Cod."

Play from 0:47[0:47]" He's very quiet man is not."

Play from 0:49[0:49]" Very quiet. He's. But he walked softly and carries a pretty big stake in the Democratic Party. Well Miami -- he's the go to guy put the cape Kennedy and he never put himself from the spotlight to get it done and so were behind the scenes. He's always been able to be an arbitrator. Between factions that try to get things done. And he's well respected among Democrats around the country."

Play from 1:13[1:13]" And the assumption would be that if in fact he is named as the interim senator. That he would pretty much provide continuity in terms of work of the office and also the policies that. The senator had advocated bright."

Play from 1:26[1:26]" Absolutely at the of the justice. 22 continually just move right in every bit I think most of the key people in the Senator Kennedy steps still left in in in the -- as -- tune in on the Senate side of Washington no poker very well and they support him. And they've worked very very hard for because they don't be just that following it can these footsteps and for a very short time. Also are probably is a lot safer pick than Michael Dukakis of movement and who knows we're talking before the -- made. Did but Dukakis is more of a lightning rod among Republicans. And then Kirk has some pretty good. Friends on the other side of the aisle and will be able will be much. Would he fit in a lot more smoothly than Mike Dukakis would because of that the former presidential candidate for the Democrats and and -- all the baggage she carries in that 1988 campaign. Some guys from them and it would be running against Dukakis but the next election."

Play from 2:27[2:27]" And presumably Paul Kirk has no ambitions for further public office as it."

Play from 2:31[2:31]" I wouldn't think so he's -- I don't believe he's ever run for a public office before and I don't think he has those kind of ambitions so. It would be pretty safe in that direction he he just would continue with senator Kennedy's policies and keep the seat warm until we elect in a new senator in January."
