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.

Show them you can do a better job than Hillary...stiff TWO waitresses!
it increases the chances of her serving the rest of her dang life as our senator.....
you coming home for Christmas?
Aside from Wall Street (and even that is suspect now), upstate is the only part of NY that produces anything. Just like middle America produces everything for the urban coasts. If the American ghettos want their milk, beef, pork, corn, and wheat, let ‘em come begging. They can keep their fancy offices where people crunch numbers for a living but produce nothing tangible. Let the welfare recipients in NYC fish in the East River for their food if they are so hungry.
This is mean, I know, but I think most Kennedy women have horse faces. And don’t those people believe in dental work?
Powell’s words on Sunday went like this: Sarah Palin took the GOP further to the right. They are going to have to realize that they can’t continue to support these small town values; most of us live in big cities. Wish I had a direct quote and don’t even remember which talk show he was on. Anybody remember?
Just some more arrogance from Left field.
Re: “She has no experience. That means she cannot be a Senator. However is does qualify her for the Presidency.”
***************
You’re gonna let a little thing like zero experience get in the way? And heck, her daddy was president, so she should be automatically entitled to the same title, yes?
alot of us were young in 1963 and watched it live on “black and white”TV.
I was a young bride who's husband served in the US Army under President Kennedy. Watching Carolina grow up is no reason for her to be entitled to a Senate position..
I hope the voters in NY make a wiser decision than you seem to have.
President Kennedy really did not do anything great during his time in office, nor did his two brothers...two were married men with children who were “known Play~boys and one took the life of a young woman over a bridge and he also was married with children”
I want to know Has she ever worked for a pay check??? has she ever had to make tough decisions? Has she ever had to struggle from pay day to pay day? Has she ever had to do without? Has she ever used her law degree professionally? Is her law degree even “active”? just a few thoughts....
I liked her better when she was a private citizen. Now that she wants to enter politics, she’s on the wrong side of the aisle from me, so that’s that.
I had the random opportunity to cross paths a couple of times with both her and her brother in NYC. They were about the only “famous” people of the many I have seen here that caused me to turn my head when I saw them. she seems nice enough but has no charisma other than her name.
Buy gold.
Cause the dollar isn’t going to be worth the paper its written on.
Hand Caroline “Another incompetent” Kennedy, Hillary’s seat? Don’t make me barf!

Democrats don’t worry about competence when they fill positions of power.
Democrats are like the jerk at a baseball game who watches an outfielder make a running driving over the shoulder catch, and tells his friends “I could do that, anybody could do that!”
Being a Democrat is all the qualification Democrats need to be appointed or selected to fill a job. Some of the Democrat jackasses who have “served” us after being handed a job are:
* Jocelyn Elders. Remember that jerk’s idea to teach school boys how to masturbate and how she liked the music of Eric “Klapner?” That imbecile was appointed Surgeon General by Bill Clinton, not because she is a fine doctor with real credentials, but because she’s a Democrat and could have told the world Clinton’s mother was an abortionist in rural Arkansas.
*When New York State’s Democrat Comptroller went to jail, Democrats appointed a Democrat Assemblyman with no financial training, and less than $6,000 in personal investments. Not surprisingly in just eight month with this genius in control of the state’s pension fund, it has lost 20% of its value.
*Incompetent Democrat Andrew Cuomo was made HUD Secretary by Clinton. Cuomo INCREASED the percentage of sub prime loans Fanny and Freddy HAD to make, from 43 to 50%, thereby insuring the financial mess America is in today.
Barack Obama was essentially handed his Illinois State Senate and US Senate seats. He obviously has no qualifications.
Now Democrats want hand Hillary’s Senate seat to Caroline Kennedy to fulfill a “fairy tale dream” we are told. Please! To me it’s a nightmare. But she’s qualified right? Her total lack of qualifications or government experience mean nothing. Her Kennedy name is all she needs.
After all it’s only a senate seat that anyone can fill, right?
Competence never means anything to Democrats. Why should it? Anyone can do these jobs, right?
Even a schmoe like Fran Dressler, television’s Nanny thinks SHE should be considered for Clinton’s seat. Why not? It’s not like the job couldn’t be done by anybody off the street or anything, and she did a great job running a rich guy’s household on TV right?
You will recall that the noted expert in bio chemistry Meryl Streep testified at a Congressional hearing to ban the spraying Alar on apples. She played a farmer in a movie and is a liberal Democrat, that was good enough.
Notice the plan for the new administration is to leave Bill Gates as Defense Secretary. Even the ultimate incompetent Obama knows there are some jobs that need to be filled with competent people. His financial people lean toward competency as well. Enough said?
I don’t normally question God. I am very curious and have always wondered why He has permitted Cancer, NAZIism, Socialism, famine and the Kennedy clan to exist. I understand that certain life forms have some role to play in our existence. Viruses, pathogens, mold slime and demoncrats. But, really Lord.....why are the Kennedys still breathing?
Oh this is just soo good. Watched a video that the RNC put out showing Obama proudly supporting Blago.
In the video a media type asks O if he is going to support Blago for governor. O’s answer.........
you betcha...........
How interesting that Sarsh Palin was excoriated for saying.......you betcha.
That video on O supporting Blago for gov is up on You Tube for all to see.
I have family in Syracuse....they’re laughing (and crying) at the circus.
What? Are you kidding?
I hear Kennedy I think Mary Joe.
The Donkeys have turned this state into what Appalachia was in the 1930s.
The despair and depression up here boggles the mind.
Kennedy would do Zero,Zilch,Nada for New York State! Just Like Hillary Clinton a lousy Carpet Baggin Senator who proimised over 200,000 jobs, instead we loose Hundreds of Thousands!
She helped Obama get the nomination, that’s all that’s needed. The Dems will find some way to reward her with a Senatorial seat, including employing some Chicago tactics. All the lib cronies will be in Washington. That’s the “change” we can count on.
After all, this opportunity is "golden." For Hillary.
