Caroline Kennedy broke her silence with the start of a media blitz yesterday, defending her qualifications to replace Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and confidently saying she's up to the job.

There. Fixed it for ya.
I remember when Martin frost moved to Texas to run for Congress, because there wasn't anywhere to “place” him in NY.
Why do Demoncrats continually send back room selected, blow dried and polished speechifiers to Congress?
Could it be that they are easily controlled by their masters?
No one expects CK-S and Franken to be anything but a gracious controlled vote for the Pelosi-Reid leadership.
