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.

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!

Hey, NYC GOP Chick! Hope you had a Merry Christmas/Happy Hanukkah. Best wishes to you for a happy and healthy 2009! BTW, we didn't miss a Tri-State NY-NJ-CT Christmas party did we? Those have been fun in the past...

It'll be interesting to hear Senator Caroline Kennedy speak on a near-daily basis. A 51-year-old Valley Girl... *barf*

“and come to realize they are stuck with a Marie Antoinette aristrocratic dummy.”

You are kidding right? The dims keep reelecting a drunk murderer in Teddy, a racist in Byrd, a gay pimp in Frank, a whore chasing drug addict in Mayor Barry, a nincompoop in Nagin........... The list is endless of the elitist the DNC sends up and the dim masses vote for. It really is sad when you sit down and think about what is happening to this once great country. It is still the best, but it ain't what it once was.

A head of lettuce is more qualified to be a senator than Caroline Kennedy.

Wow! Really? Like, all she had to do was say, “I want that.” and, by golly, it was hers. She’s a Kennedy and all that, you know like, service to the community and all like that.

"We’ve got to have a Kennedy in the Senate even if she’s only a Kennedy through a marriage to an Onassis."

What? Caroline is certainly a Kennedy and definitely NOT an Onassis. Or am I misunderstanding you?

Never a doubt... and she will embarrass the dims and the State of NY. She is nothing but a spoiled liberal airhead... a real barbara streisand with no singing talent.

“My guess is Obama has been leaning heavily on Gov. Paterson to appoint Caroline. The support of Uncle Ted early on in the campaign was a boost to the Chosen One, and now Obama is repaying the debt to the Kennedy family.”

My thoughts exactly.
