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.

Give ‘em h3ll, as long as you’re there. You guys need your own state.
They could care less about us here. Makes me ill when they show up once in a blue moon. Kennedy is a joke, leave me alone for 51 years until I wish to be crowned.
I’d love for Paterson to take a trip through this area right about now.
What is wrong with crowning her when the swimmer sinks.
She and O share the same qualifications: both are Constitutional lawyers.
“learn more about how Washington can help these communities,” Kennedy said.”
Get a clue Ms Kennedy it is not Washington that has destroyed NY it is the the tax to death policies of your NY liberal friends that are destroying communities. Companies have moved out of NY state and the reason is because of taxes....the liberal answer to everything.....
SNORT.
Mayor. My bad. typed a too fast there
That must be what’s wrong with the picture. Is she without scandal? Then she can’t run for public office. Not as Kenndy.
He’s still looking around.
I thought she was smarter than her brother- I don’t think it took her 7 tries to pass the Bar Exam
We’ll just have to see how far a name and being photogenic can carry her
Da'Tara won the Belmont. That's more qualificantions than Caroline Kennedy has (or Hillary had for that matter).
about the same as hitlery...but who cares in NY...apparently no one...so have another kennedy da jur
Those ‘listening tours’ are simply designed to alleviate the problem of having to answer questions. Hillary! wasn’t ever asked questions because she was too busy ‘listening’.
“We’ll just have to see how far a name and being photogenic can carry her”
Ummm...you think she’s photogenic? I think her brother got all of the pretty genes.
The Kennedy men generally do a lot better in the looks department than the Kennedy women.
"Well, when I was four years old I played in the Oval Office. That's public ain't it? . . . ."
If Caroline gets it now, does that increase our chances for electing a Republican Senator in four years?
Yeah.
Caroline Kennedy is a private person who has always stayed out of the limelight.
Now she seeks an appointment to the Senate seat in New York where she will never have to campaign for re-election again.
