Caroline Kennedy was a strong supporter of President-elect Barack Obama during his presidential campaign
Caroline Kennedy has decided to pursue Hillary Clinton’s U.S. Senate seat
New York Times
The decision follows weeks of speculation that the early supporter of Barack Obama would trade in her otherwise private life in order to seek an appointment by New York Gov. David Paterson to the seat once held by her uncle, Robert F. Kennedy.
The Times reported that Kennedy will ask Paterson to consider her for the job. The daughter of former President John F. Kennedy is known as an education advocate, and would face likely competition for the post from other more familiar faces in New York politics.
Among the pool of potential candidates is state Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, son of former Gov. Mario Cuomo. Some Democrats have questioned whether Kennedy would bring more than name recognition to the job.
Wild Thing’s comment………..
Hmmmmmm well here we have a great example once again of the double standard. The Democrats and some rino’s persecuted, bashed, slandered Gov, yes that is GOV. Sarah Palin for not having any experience to be VP on the ticket.
And now we see that Caroline Kenney is just fine and dandy with the Democrats and there is no problem with her NON experience. ION fact I heard a few Democrats today on TV say Caroline Kennedy had experience and would be perfect for the job of US. Senate seat from N.Y.
Bottom line is…….She is a democrat. She does not need any experience and also the double standard rule that Democrats cling to.
To compare the experience Sarah Palin has had and this Kennedy is so vast it would be hard to know where to begin.
Now if we were to compare her to Hillary when Hillary ran for the Senate…….Hillary, she is related to someone who was once president, and she has previously lived in the White House. What more experience could you ever need?
Now there is a match up. hahha
I say, NO more Kennedy’s ever anywhere near any government!!!!!!!!
Many NY Democrats are strong Hillary supporters and blame Kennedy’s early support of PEBO for turning Uncle Teddy to PEBO.
It’s amazing how many stupid people in the North East will vote for anything with the Kennedy name. You could literally run a cow for office and it would get votes if it was named Kennedy.
Something I didn’t know about CK. She’s been married to the Schloss since 1986, but never took his name. Bet that took about 2 seconds to decide.
BobF., LMAO so true. Love this so funny….hahahhaa
“You could literally run a cow for office and it would get votes if it was named Kennedy.”
Eden,hahahaha yes.
Well thats just great another Kennedy in Congress don’t we have enough drunks down there already.
Caroline WANTS a …? And John-John wanted to be a Top Gun pilot too, eh?
I find the complaints about Caroline Kennedy’s lack of experience to be Senator by some Democrats and the liberal MSM laughable. These same people showed no concerns or outrage about Al Franken’s lack of experience to be a senator even if stuffing the ballot box gets him “elected”. The same for many of the other patronage appointments to fill vacant Senate and other elective office seats sometimes by inexperienced spouses. These are also the same people who voted for the very inexperienced with lack of accomplishments illegitimate PEBO for PRESIDENT and CIC. What hypocrites.
Mark, LMAO we sure do.
Darth, yes I guess all she has to do is ask and it is hers. So much for working for something.
Les, yes that is the thing. They attacked Sarah with actual lies of her not being experienced when she is loaded with really good experience. Then here comes C. Kennedy and oh sure it now does not matter about experience.
