Kennedy Takes A Beating From Upstate Media Reporters Jump All Over Mostly Silent Princess Of Camelot; Mayor Of Syracuse Doesn't Offer Endorsement Who Should Get Senate Gig? Siena Poll: Cuomo 26, Kennedy 23 Reporting Marcia Kramer NEW YORK (CBS)
Caroline Kennedy took a page from Hillary Clinton's playbook and began an upstate listening tour On Wednesday.
The road trip included stops in Syracuse, Rochester and Buffalo to help convince Gov. David Paterson and voters she's the one to replace Clinton in the U.S. Senate.
But it was a tough crowd.
The black SUV pulled up to Syracuse city hall Wednesday morning. It was stop one on Kennedy's upstate tour.
But after meeting with Mayor Matt Driscoll, she ran into a buzz saw -- angry reporters who wanted her to do more talking and less listening.
"But you've never held public office so what experience [do you have]?" one reporter asked.
Actually, she did speak briefly in Syracuse.
"I wanted to come upstate and meet with Mayor Driscoll and others to tell them about my experience and also learn more about how Washington can help these communities," Kennedy said.
Her quick remarks fell flat. Reporters seemed to feel brushed off and they pursued her out.

Washington help communities? The constitution spells out how that should work.
Good. She needs the cold, hard smack of reality.
Doesn’t emperor Patterson have a horse he can appoint?
Where was the upstate media’s like questions when Obama was campaigning?
Good, it’s the same reaction I am getting from friends and neighbors here in upstate NY
See: tree falls in forest, nobody there to hear.
Dope. Let the people of NY decide, like they did with Hillary. You know...let them elect another dem hack who’ll raise taxes to the stratosphere and blow them off completely except around election time.
Being born into one of the biggest socialist names in politics doesn’t make you a good socialist. You have to prove yourself by directly committing voter fraud, malfeasance and misappropriation of funds! You might want to call them names and make fun of them.
Then, as with Murtha in PA, you’ll be elected over and over.
At least she didn’t interrupt them to say “I don’t want to waste your question....”

Wow! The peasants are uprising in upstate?
Caroline Kennedy: But But, I’m a Kennedy, I’m entitled!!
Let’s do some comparisons here. Compare Resumes..
Sarah Palin: Former Major, Governor for 2 years, cleaned up corruption in her own party. Handles a 10 billion dollar budget. Head of the Alaskan National Guard, I can go on all day but I won’t
Now Caroline Kennedy’s Resume: Sat under her daddy’s desk during his presidency. Last name is Kennedy..OK whose more qualified..Show of hands
Upstate needs its own state.
We haven't all left...yet :(
New York state is so screwed already what’s another Socialist going to matter? They will “never” recover; anyone with a brain will move out of the state ASAP including companies. Everywhere Liberals reign, it’s toilet bowl time. Now, the entire country will get to experience their incompetence and socialism. We’re living a national disgrace coupled with the destruction of our way of life. Our freedom will be stolen, our military will be destroyed, our security will be non-existent while our enemies plot to destroy us, and our economy will equal a third-world country. Welcome to the world order of Obama, Reid, Pelosi, and the rest of the Socialist royalty.
As far as I can see she has more experience in public life than Obama ever had.
Probably the last time a Kennedy was in Rochester was when RFK was running for the Senate. I remember going to see him and LBJ when they made a stop at the airport in '65.
She knows how to raise money. That’s the only qualification I’ve heard so far. Oh, and she helped with Uncle Ted’s campaign.
She was a Major? in what branch of the service?
Since “most of us live in big cities” (quote from Colin Powel on Sunday), Caroline is a shoe-in. Why bother with a campaign?
