Whatcha bet it will be the Junior Senator from New York, Chelsea Clinton....
If this is an appointed position for now until the next election then I agree that Chelsea Clinton would be on the inside track.
Hey, that might not be a bad idea—Chelsea is one smart cookie, plain looking true, but smart in an Eleanor Roosevelt sort of way. Old Bill would be a fun guy in the Senate as well, but I don’t think Obama is that dumb. Bill and Hill could double team him if things go south.
Chelsea is not old enough. You have to be 30.
Thank God.
I don’t think they could slide Chels all the way up to senator now, but you know it’s the way political families think that he could hold the seat before passing it along to her in six years. E.g., Biden’s got a seat holder for his son in Delaware now, Kennedys will try to follow Teddy with some one of his kin.
