Caroline Kennedy wants the NY Senate Seat

http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/...grQZgD953L44G0

I don't know much about her. Anyone?

Or have been assassinated?

That would make her one of the good ones. I guess she can keep her fingers crossed.

She's done relatively little and has next to no experience unless you count listening to the tales of Teddy and the others. Based upon that she's a virtual shoo-in.

My thoughts exactly.

I'd say she'll get the seat. Anyone want to bet against it?

She is buying her way into office on the coat tails of numerous dead and failed members of a rich family. I guess it is no different than Bush or the Clintons. And when the Clinton daughter enters politics in the same manner, no one should be surprised.

Like all things in life in which you have the chance to get ahead it involves three main elements:

1. Timing

2. Position

3. Lubrication.

I'd say she has more of a reason to be a New York Senator than Hillary Clinton ... at least she's actually lived in the jurisdiction.

She's tended to be more private than most of the rest of her family. For example, I don't know if she wears clothes as well as her mom.

Or if she's done anything more important/useful than trying to avoid papparazzi.

Oh, if only John-John hadn't learned to fly (or had learned to fly better).

I read a two page article about her on the cover of the Washington Post. I was pleased to see it, because I wanted to learn more about her. It said virtually nothing. The only thing I got out of it was that she enjoyed working on the Obama campaign and wanted to become more active in politics. She's an enigma.

Since she is an enigma, then why do some already have aggressive and derogatory opinions? Oh. Review the names of those authors. Since Kennedy is a Democrat, then she must be evil – the Rush Limbaugh diatribe simply repeated by those authors. Those who know using facts (not a wacko extremist political agenda) instead see reality. She is an enigma.

Wrong state. It’s called Connecticut. Fortunately we are not at war with Connecticut. But don’t tell Palin.
