Caroline Kennedy has told Gov. Paterson that she is withdrawing her name from consideration to replace Hillary Clinton in the U.S. Senate, The Post has learned.

I feel sorry for her. Her life has never offered the opportunity to be "normal". Think about it. Would you expect her not to be screwed up on so many levels?
I'm glad to be no one.
Oh, great, now we’ll have to endure endless liberal whining about how “no one of quality wants to serve because of negativity.”
I always thought she figured she’d like it for a couple of years,as long as she didn’t have to campaign or anything like that. And after the two years she would just hand it off to one of her many cousins or something. ,,,But when it looked like this thing was going to take some actual work, she bowed out!
And the Cuomos hate Kerry Kennedy, the 7th child of RFK's supersized litter. She married Andrew Cuomo in a marriage regarded as a blending of Democratic dynasties, but she achieved the rare accomplishment of a Kennedy FEMALE being accused of adultery. Kerry and Andrew had 3 daughters, and then she cuckolded him with a married guy. Kerry got a divorce, but the married guy went back to his very rich wife.
Who’s Caroline Kennedy?
Sometimes you scare me. Well done.
Paterson would still probably nominate her.
That sounds plausible, especially if they have a loophole for the residency requirement. Surely she has her name on some Massachusetts property.
To obammer??
I am not ready to cheer about this. Even though, Heaven knows, we don’t need another Kennedy in politics, or the Senate. But with the Democrats, things are never as they appear - easy. There’s something else going on, some other appointment or something covert. No one withdraws like, ya know, she (supposedly) did, from an almost certain position. I smell a lot of rotten fish in a barrel around this situation.
Could be she spends too much time with them??
Hmmmm... I shoulda thought of that. When Teddy passes, perhaps "Cadillac Deval" Patrick can appoint her instead... what are the Mass. residency requirements if the Gov appoints a replacement? Can he appoint a non-resident?
And last I recall, the Mass law was that if a Senator dies, there must be a special election. It was changed to that when the Republicans were holding the Gov's office. Now that Cadillac is in there, they want the Gov to appoint whoever he/they (Dems) wish. So there was talk of a new bill to be passed, though I don't know if they ever passed it.
orly?
Wonder why.
Sometimes, as Dan Hicks sang, I scare myself!
Andrew Cuomo and Fannie and Freddie, How the youngest HUD secretary caused the mortgage crisis
Way to go, Hot Sheets!
Well, MSNBC is saying the claim of her withdrawal is false. Wow, they want to keep the hope alive
I had more fun listening to my leaf blower than that wind sucking lib.
Well what do YOU KNOW ??
