The last time this came up the discussion got quite boisterous. There’s a little more beef to the story this time, with the NY Times having the story:
Ms. Kennedy will ask Gov. David A. Paterson of New York to consider her for the appointment, according to the person told of her decision. The governor was traveling to Utica today and could not immediately be reached for comment.
If appointed, Ms. Kennedy would fill the seat once held by her uncle, Robert F. Kennedy.
Ms. Kennedy has been making calls this morning to alert political figures to her interest. [...]
Remembering Hillary Rodham Clinton, who became just Clinton with no Rodham to help her husband, it’s
interesting that Caroline Kennedy, no Schlossberg to emphasize the Kennedy, is walking into the family biz at midlife.
Again, I don’t care one way or the other about
this one, though I do have an interest in the story as a life long studied expert of J.F. K. There are obviously good arguments to be made for other
candidates besides CKS. The ones against Caroline Kennedy (Schlossberg) begin because she’s
a Kennedy, which is part of the “aristocracy” nonsense. Remember, our Founders
were rich land owners. The other is that she’s not experienced enough. Again,
when our Founders created the country they hadn’t a clue what they were doing.
Also let me say that I learned through my older big brother what politics is all
about, which isn’t a bad way to go. On a differently level entirely, to say
that Caroline Kennedy (Schlossberg) has learned quite a bit from her family
isn’t exactly a bad way to get to know about politics either.
But one thing is clear. Caroline Kennedy wants to be a senator from the great state of New York. What do you think?
