ALBANY, N.Y. -- Despite early reservations, New York state's most powerful legislative leader now says he'll support Caroline Kennedy for the U.S. Senate if the governor names her to the seat expected to be vacated by Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton.
State Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver told the New York Post he's rethinking his views on Kennedy because he feels Gov. David Paterson will soon pick her to replace Clinton, President-elect Barack Obama's choice as secretary of state.
If she is Paterson's choice, the Democratic lawmaker said he will "work strenuously for her election," the Post reported Thursday.
Two people close to Paterson told The Associated Press they believe the daughter of the late President John F. Kennedy will be Paterson's choice. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to speak on the matter.

Anyone, ya know, surprised by this?
Yep they will explain it this way, you know, Caroline Kennedy, is a Kennedy, you know, and she is “informed” you know, went to two you know, ivy league schools, you know, meanwhile Sarah Palin, you know, she isn’t “informed” because you know, she went to 4 different schools, you know, including Idaho State University, you know, that isn’t an ivy league you know, school
Hark! I hear the sound of deals being cut in the night!
OK who got to Sheldon and with what?
She may have been remiss over the years in not spreading around the Kennedy loot to fellow dems, but something tells me she’s making up for it now.
With a vengeance.
Hell an Illinois senate seat goes for what a million plus a bucket of piss?
One from N.Y. being bought by a Kennedy should be worth what 10, 20 million?
And this air head has inherited 300 mil?
Easy deal.
Money Money Money Money.
Sounds like somebody told Mr. Silver to sit down and STFU. I suppose everybody has their price. Wonder what his was.
Silver must have just received confirmation about the recent deposit in that Swiss bank account.
I see some Kennedy money finally went to the right recipients. Politicians truly are pimps and whores.
Well, you know, like, you know - Camelot Barbie is like, a lot smarter than Caribou Barbie, you know. Like.
Palin goes for the oogeddy-boogedy, Kennedy doesn't.
Kennedy is a baby-killer - that's enough for Ms. "conservative" Parker, the MSM, and David Patterson.
I wonder if as a pro-choice Catholic public official she’d open herself up to being denied Holy Communion? For the past few decades the RCC has been lax on this, but Pope Benedict seems to be tightening the rules.
So can we assume that the check for Mr Silver cleared the bank?
Remember when the Democrat’s accused George Bush of being a drunk and of using dope? That was after Bill Clinton’s brother said Clinton had a nose like a Hoover and before they elected Barrack Obama who admitted to using Cocaine.
That’s the way they will handle it. Just ignore it.
When told of her very low “loot spreadin” totals to fellow dems, Kennedy said she was “surprised and dismayed”.

Defining deviancy down, in action.
For dems only. Remember the fact of Sarah Palin’s daughter’s boyfriend’s mother’s sister being a meth dealer is still front page news.
