Is there a special election in ‘10 for this seat, or would the nominee serve the remaining 4 yrs?

[Azzurri]

Boy, these people act like royalty, just assuming their family should be the anointed ones.

[shiva]

WOW! I never thought I’d see the day a Kennedy would turn down anything political. But it’s possible that there are too many skeletons in the closet to uncover.

[Ballygrl]

I love the hypocrisy of the left, some candidates mentioned to replace Hillary are minority candidates, now why would Caroline want to prevent a black or hispanic from making history as a NY Senator? doesn’t seem very fair does it? I think she should withdraw her name and give a chance to someone who didn’t have the many advantages she had growing up. :snark:

[Ann Archy]

Cuomo and Kerry Kennedy got DIVORCED??

[TexasNative2000]

Caroline's qualified for the Senate because she's a Kennedy;

Palin's not qualified to be Veep, because she's only been a mayor and governor.

[Palladin]

I wonder why The Family didn’t consider Maria Shriver Schwarzenneger??

[mrmargaritaville]

okay so the party that constantly complained that Sarah Palin didn’t have enough experience is sendind someone to the seanate with zip-zero-zilch experience.

Kennedy’s harshest public thrashing to date, however, came from one of his closest colleagues, Riverkeeper founder Robert Boyle. Along with seven other Riverkeeper board members, Boyle resigned in 2000 after Kennedy insisted upon hiring a convicted environmental felon as the group’s chief scientist. At the time, Boyle told the New York Post that Kennedy “is very reckless,” and added that “[h]e’s assumed an arrogance above his intellectual stature.”

[freekitty]

You mean because her name is Kennedy.

Oh please, enough of the Kennedys.

[Candor7]

Maybe we will luck out , and this is the last we will see of the Chappaquidik Crew.

They need a generation to regroup and breed.

[Clintonfatigued]

Rudy Giuliani would have a pretty good chance of winning, and Peter King would have an outside shot. Otherwise, I don’t see it happening in 2010.

[Clara Lou]

Thank God. We’ve been spared another rotten apple off of that tree.

[Kadanne]

RFK is a idiot. If he didn't have Kennedy as a last name NO ONE would be listening. He was and is wrong on the environment and global warming. And just what does Caroline know other than being related to Ted. They all left Robert and John's ideas a long time ago and aren't even a small resemblance to them. Their ideology is pure Teddy liberalism and taxation. If that gov has any good sense he will chose Rudy.

[WorkingClassFilth]

It’s hard to get rid of a cockroach infestation.

[BlueStateBlues]

When he talks he sounds like he’s drowning slowly. I’m glad he’s staying home with the kiddees.

Now for Caroline. Holy JoeScarbrough,you know what this means? If she is half way competent and gets her sea legs she may very well be the Dem. nominee in 2016. Doesn’t make a difference if Obama wins or loses a second term, I don’t think an old Joe Biden would want the nomination. Caroline in 2016? Allah help us.

[AmericanInTokyo]

These people talk about the sacred trust and PRIVILEGE to be a high government official as if they were trading old 1970s baseball cards. How elitist and disgusting. This has nothing to do with representative democracy and all about ruling and overlording to selfishly and narcissitically get one’s psychological rocks off.

[LibFreeOrDie]

“It’s not a good time for me to move to Washington, because I have a large and young family."

Geez, more little Kennedys to torment us...

[montag813]

It will be hard for King or Giuliani to defeat Caroline Kennedy Schlongberg in 2010.

[pray4liberty]

What do you know, a smart Kennedy, he actually turned it down.
