Caroline Kennedy Will Be Senator, Officials Tell AP @ 2:12 pm by Walter Alarkon
Caroline Kennedy will be named the successor in the Senate to Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.), according to unnamed officials who spoke to the Associated Press.
The AP also spoke to two people close to Gov. David Paterson (D-N.Y.) who said that he is still looking for his choice but that they believe Kennedy will be the pick.
Kennedy, the daughter of President John F. Kennedy, has been lobbying for the seat since last month. Paterson's choice will serve until 2010, when voters will choose someone to fill the remainder of Clinton's term. It's up for election again in 2012, which is the final year of her term.
Clinton has been nominated to become secretary of State in the Obama administration.
In common usage the expression that someone is related “by marriage” connotes that someone is not a blood/genetic relation but is connected by the later fact of someone’s marriage......
Thus, it sounded like you were asserting that CK does not carry any “genes” from prior Kennedys (Joe, Sr. and Rose Kennedy, etc.) but was an Onassis first. In fact, she was a Kennedy first, and only an “Onassis” in a very limited sense by her mother’s later re-marriage (from I understand she NEVER considered Aristotle Onassis her step-father and had a very strained relationship with him).
I really don’t know what you are asserting, but maybe you can explain.
Of course she will.
You have to be either privileged or an affirmative action figure.
My thoughts exactly, and I couldn't have said it better myself.
??? What is that supposed to mean?
I'm still clinging to hope that Hillary isn't confimed.
I have known people with GEDs who are more articulate and well-spoken that Princess Caroline who has an Ivy League education.
Easy now, I wasn’t one of them. We in NY are rapidly coming to the point where we will have to vote with our feet or vote from the rooftops.
that = than
So she will fit right in with Boxer, Murray and the other liberal airhead lib-Dem-fems.
God is punishing us... Franken, Obama, Reid, Clinton as SOS, and ... another Kennedy?
Yup. If we are going to have an airhead Senator, lets get one who looks the part.
Yes, it’s been good here. Everything good with you guys? I hope you also have a wonderful ‘09! :-)
Haven’t heard anything about the tri-state party, or if I have, I don’t remember. LOL. Maybe check the NY board?
I don’t even want to think about Lady Caroline of Gotham anymore. Blech. Between her and our mayor, King Mike, I’m sick of the nonsense here.
And the Kennedy looks, which fit better on the males than the females.
I just hope he gets an early start and doesn’t face any serious primary challenges, so that we can all focus on sending Lady Caroline home in 2 years. Or at least for some remedial speech lessons.
If she gets the seat, he’ll start running the next day. As for primary challenges, I’d love to say that the rest of the GOP knows that he’s the guy to take that seat, but, sadly, there are one or two losers out there that think that they can get 51 points more than they currently poll.
I coulda been a senator. But I was born to middle class hard-working parents instead of the Kennedys
Has this woman EVERY had a real job?? You know, the kind where you actually have to be there by 9am every morning?
We can just call the U.S. Senate American Political Idol.
