According to Huff Post, Major Garrett of Shit News is reporting that Paul Kirk has been tapped to fill the vacancy left by Teddy Kennedy's death.
Chris Cillizza says an announcement could come later today.
Will update as news comes in.
Kirk was chairman of the DNC from '85 to '89 and a longtime friend and aide to Senator Kennedy.
Both of Kennedy's sons and his wife had earlier endorsed Kirk for the position.
Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick has not confirmed.
Update: This is according to Fox News, and has not been confirmed elsewhere...so, I have changed the title.
