If Caroline Kennedy is appointed to the U.S. Senate, she is favored to win re-election against her likeliest Republican opponent in 2010.
The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of New York voters finds Kennedy would attract 51% of the vote in a match-up with Republican Peter King, a longtime congressman form Long Island. King, who has made his interest in such a race clear, earns 33% of the vote at this time. Nine percent (9%) say they would vote for a third-party candidate, and seven percent (7%) are not sure.
Still, there are hints of potential vulnerability for the daughter of former President John F. Kennedy, who is the leading candidate to replace Hillary Clinton in the Senate.

Hopefully, this will the Governor into a false sense of political security. I don’t think that Princess Caroline would hold up under scrutiny.
ya Know, ya Know, ya Know, it is New York, and a worn out sneaker could win the election if it was labeled the Democrat candidate. New York, the handout state, of hopeless helpless people.
Like oh my God, I am like you know, gonna go to the Senate thingie, you know, and work on you know, making life better for you know, the working person dude
Elections after she is hand-picked will not matter.
She is a Kennedy and this will be a life-time appointment.
We need to find a way to "fix" stupid.....
lol
What a crock. A decent guy like King is 18 percentage points behind the dilettante Kennedy. Is this a great country or what?
“I’ll never understand the Kennedy mystique.”
Well, the French put up with Louis Napoleon III, because he was Napoleon’s nephew.
“I’ll never understand the Kennedy mystique.”
The press loved him because for a brief period he worked as a journalist, so they saw him as one of their own. He was a mediocrity as president, and the fact he was killed was what elevated him to sainthood for the liberals (and, the funny thing is, if he were alive today, and held the same views he held when he was alive, he would not be welcome in the Democrat Party because he would be considered by the Dems to be too right wing!).
Jacqui squandered it when she “married” Onassis. However, she was paid “royally.”
Is it possible constitutionally to kick a state out of the union?
New York......going.......going......GONE. I couldn’t care less what happens in a state that gives us one of the most repulsive men, Chuck Schumer. in the Senate.
THANKS, BFL
Given there has already been some negative coverage (right?) 51-33 doesn’t seem like a good starting point.
