Caroline Kennedy has given up her bid for the U.S. Senate seat vacated by Hillary Clinton.

In a one-line statement citing personal reasons, the widely considered front-runner said Thursday she told New York Gov. David Paterson a day earlier that she was no longer interested in the job.

"I informed Governor Paterson today that for personal reasons I am withdrawing my name from consideration for the United States Senate."

The statement, provided by Kennedy's press person Stefan Friedman, was issued after hours of divergent reports Wednesday evening.

My favorite line from the whole article:

Hours earlier, a source close to Kennedy told The Post she'd bowed out because she'd become aware of a personal issue early Wednesday afternoon, but that it had nothing to do with her uncle,

How does one become aware of a personal issue? Do you forget everything you did and all of the sudden it pops back into your head?

The above was from the NY Post article, not the CNN article. Too many windows open.

Well, she definitely looks a lot like Webb — much more than Bill, really... The thing is they say she is very close to her father, so I’d bet we’ll see mannerisms and such from Bill if we look closely enough. She’s got the confidence already, and it doesn’t hurt that the Clinton’s are sort of like the Kennedy’s. I wish there were more people on OUR side like these families (without the corruption and scandals... Maybe that’s what makes their “dynasties” possible though — I’d bet you need to step on a lot of toes and be one of the dirtiest politicians to achieve what they have. We know that’s how the Clintons did it. As for the Kennedy’s I think it’s both being “good” politicians, and of course the deference that comes with money - and the Kennedy’s are certainly a family that uses the whole “noblesse oblige” thing to their advantage...)

Now that IS interesting. Imagine that - a Kennedy scared of a scandal. I guess when it comes at the “beginning” of one’s career like this the media won’t give her a pass like they have Uncle Teddy for so long, eh? Interesting...

Interesting article, but the bottom line is, “There is no question that the results get smaller and weaker, but there still seems to be something there.”

I think you are absolutely right about that...and last night O’Reilly let a scrappy cat out of the bag stating that there was big trouble with Kennedy’s marriage, with rumors of an affair. He didn’t elaborate.

It is unquestionably true that one can get rid of human problems by getting rid of human beings.

In fact, one can get rid on all human problems by getting rid of all human beings--- a kind of idiot arithmetic consisting solely of subtraction.
