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.

“So I think in many ways, you know, we want to have all kinds of different voices, you know, representing us, and I think what I bring to it is, you know, my experience as a mother, as a woman, as a lawyer, you know, I’ve been an education activist for the last six years here, and, you know, I’ve written seven books – two on the Constitution, two on American politics.” - Caroline Kennedy
I’ve got a better idea. Give Peter King a chance.
The ancient one worships JFK. Surprised it took her this long to show her stupidity.
The comments make me physically ill and mentally enraged. There is a large chunk of the American populace that does not deserve to live in a free society. They might be happier someplace else.
