WASHINGTON -- What's in a name? Plenty if it's Kennedy.
Caroline Kennedy is seeking appointment to the Senate seat being vacated by Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., if -- as expected-- Clinton is confirmed as secretary of state in President-elect Barack Obama's Cabinet.
There are pros and cons to Kennedy's first bid for public office. Clinton{tfi}-- a former first lady-- had held no previous elective office before declaring her candidacy in 2000 to be senator from New York.
Unlike Kennedy, who has lived in New York for years, Clinton was a native of Illinois and after her marriage to former President Bill Clinton, she put down roots in Arkansas. She was a carpetbagger, but won her spurs on the stump in upstate New York, becoming an expert on its problems during her successful 2000 race, a result she repeated in 2006.
Both Kennedy and Clinton have lived in the White House.

I doan wanna know!
My sight just came back and I can focus again. Thanks!
I’ll give Caroline Kennedy the same chance the Democrats gave Sarah Palin, we got ourselves a deal Helen Thomas
Except Caroline was maybe 4 years old at the time and lived there for 3 years, Hillary ran the place for 8 years.
Helen, go straight to hell. Now. We got rid of hereditary nobility when we sent the Brits packing. You want to bring that shit back??? I don’t think so bitch.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
NO MORE HELEN THOMAS PICS PLEASE!!!!!!!
Dam, whats wrong with you people.
No double standard here. Nothing to see. Move along.
I’m sure Helen Thomas said the same thing about Sarah Palin. Oh wait...that’s right she only likes pro-terrorist candidates.
Ready?
F.U.
How about the same chace Palin got? Would you like that Helen?
By the way Helen, did you ever find out who killed Vince Foster? After all you said it on LIVE TV that you thought he was murdered “right there in the white house”- any follow up on that minor story Helen?
