Caroline Kennedy tonight withdrew her name from consideration to replace Hillary Clinton in the U.S. Senate after learning that Gov. David Paterson wasn't going to choose her, The Post has learned.

Kennedy's decision removes the highest-profile name in the ring to step into Clinton's now-vacant seat, as she departs after getting confirmed today as President Obama's Secretary of State.

Good, she is a lame-ass. I expect Patterson to appoint another African-American, but we’ll see...

And how would he know the appointee was one?

Oh yeah, I went there.

This is Democrat politics. Undoubtedly she wouldn't come across as requested, but Cuomo did.

End of story.

Could be, but do you realize how many Kennedy cousins there are? I’m sure Governor Deval Patrick will let one of ‘em out of prison to run in the special election.

You mean she wouldn't put out?

But Cuomo would?

Patterson said at the start that he wanted to appoint someone who could be counted on to get re-elected. Otherwise the seniority would be wasted.

I suspect Andrew Cuomo. The guy is a corrupt crook, but he has a lot more experience and appeal to typical NY voters than any of the other candidates.

I don't live in NY, but I am strangely happy to hear this. Yeah team!!! Now a deserving Democrat political drone will get the seat.

Maybe, she is going to take over her Uncle Ted's seat instead...I'm just saying...

What have the Kennedy's ever done for Patterson?

He should nominate Ashley Dupre. She made him governor.
