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.

That may well be. But it doesn't take my notion out of play...

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.

My guess is that Obama is the one who sunk Spitzer...and look what(who) got his job....and he's black...imagine that!!

I'd sure like to find old connections between Obama and Paterson.

Remember, the Spitzer thing had been going on for YEARS!!

And not a penny passed or a word was said. See Mr. Blago...this is the way you do it...You keep it hidden beneath the murky sea....and you can get away with murder.

My thoughts exactly.

I would not hesitate to say that your "guess" would be a very good estimate of reality.
