NY Senate Seat and Kennedy

Is it just me or do any of you think this is wrong?

Caroline Kennedy is SUDDENLY interested in carrying the family political torch and taking the NY senate seat that will be open IF Hillary gets confirmed as Sec. of State. This same seat was once filled by her uncle RFK.

Sure she's a lawyer and very active in her community but why now. She has never held public office. Use to be the Senate was reserved for those that were great political leaders and governed well among their state legislatures. I know that has changed some but I think enough is enough. She certainly has the clout and MONEY to get the Governor to appoint her. Many democratic donators are telling the governor NO.

I heard one guy say we left the House of Lords in England! Have the Kennedys really been very good for American politics?

She is less experienced than Sarah Palin.

She is experience; ie Aristocracy

To Liberals: She literally represents the embodiment of liberal experience.

To me: She is a bored rich lady that wants to expand her social interactions.

I don't think so. The Kennedy's and the Clintons have never gotten along that well.

Yeah, don't forget that Caroline, not the cute little girl from Camelot, campaigned heavily for Obama and against her female counterpart Hillary. I don't think there is any love loss. In fact I see this as a spite to Hillary.

A scenario could be that once seated Obama could fire Hillary and then the Clintons would be out of power!!!! Think on these things, huh?
