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.
Yup. But then, we elected a president with no qualifications, either. In fact, I'm not even sure Obama meets the requirements to be POTUS. The voters in this country deserve what they get. Sadly, most of them are so stupid they find it difficult to fog a mirror. (Indeed, in Chicago, even that's not required to vote!)
That may well be. But it doesn't take my notion out of play...
Um,you know,that’s funny!
Wow, TWO coronations this month... President Messiah and Senator Caroline Kennedy (D-Camelot).
I suggest from now on that Caroline doesn’t leave home without her teleprompter.
Caroline Kennedy like any democrat nominee suck up to Harry Reid. Da New Yoorkers will quickly tire of “ya know” and come to realize they are stuck with a Marie Antoinette aristrocratic dummy. An appropriate fool for New York democrats.
The US is done. This was a done deal from the word go. Kennedy is ROYALTY, not a candidate. And as a Kennedy she is automatically entitled to a high political position.
The election process is now completely worthless (has been for years). The country is run by various families and the political hacks that orbit them.
See my tagline.
I am one "unnamed official" that says Caroline Kennedy is far too light headed to become a US Senator.
If you doubt that I am an unnamed official, I could give you the names of at least 10 unnamed officials who will testify to that fact. They have, however, chosen to remain unnamed.
you assume that new york voters are going to vote for a republican. ill believe it when i see it.
A picture of, left to right, dumb and dumber. Or right to left...no matter.
You know, like this is a surprise, you know?
Didn’t we fight a war, not all that long ago, to get out from under the control of a royal family?
It’s a shame the rest of us have to get crushed along with the 52%+ of America that are inveterate dumbasses.
“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.”
So now we know that Paterson is blind and dumb. We don’t yet know how his hearing is.
Ha! You just know he’s been rooting for this to happen.
O tempora! O mores!
That’s probably true, but what kind of backlash will Paterson face in his own state? I doubt too many career Dems are too happy about Kennedy. I didn’t think she would ultimately be appointed, but I guess the Messiah is more important.
Wow. She really got hit with the Kennedy genes, while her late brother got the Bouvier good looks.
C-SPAN2 footage of her floor speeches will replace the use of prescription sleeping pills.
Even by Senate standards, she’s a tedious speaker.
Hope you and the Mr. had a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, nutmeg!
