Caroline Kennedy's "personal reasons" for withdrawing from Senate consideration were not connected to damaging claims from Gov. Paterson's camp that she owed back taxes, had a nanny problem or faced a marital scandal, two sources close to her have told The Post.
"The reasons she withdrew had nothing to do with the reasons that have been cited by that person close to Gov. Paterson," said one of the sources.
SWISS HISS FOR GOV
"And Gov. Paterson knows it," the source, raising his voice in anger, continued.
The source said that Kennedy, who had been touted as the leading candidate to succeed Hillary Rodham Clinton for some two months, would have taken the job if Paterson had moved more swiftly to make a decision, and would have said yes even as late as Monday or late Tuesday - because the family problem had not yet arisen.
A second source close to Caroline Kennedy's family confirmed that the "personal reasons" cited by Kennedy were not related to the three possibilities that would be leaked by an authoritative Paterson operative.
"Caroline learned on Wednesday that there was a specific and serious concern involving someone in her family, and it had nothing to do with taxes, nannies or her marriage," said the second source.

If Caroline can’t be honest with the public about her hush hush family matter, she made the right decision.
Point of fact, she is too much of an unseasoned light weight to hold the job anyway, but this weasels way out, is a major embarrassment to herself.
She’s just unfit to serve.
Uh, yeah. Sure.
So what is the rumor?
Could the REAL reason be that Princess Caroline is a dumb, untalented, bad-tempered, failed the bar three times, undeservedly rich, NY celebridork with fewer accomplishments than my Norwegian Elkhound?
I can’t help but assume she’ll take her uncle’s seat.
I think they found someone in the Kennedy family who had a real job.
“Point of fact, she is too much of an unseasoned light weight to hold the job anyway, but this weasels way out, is a major embarrassment to herself.

Which makes her a perfect presidential candidate in ‘12! /S
Interesting smoking device her underage daughter is around...
The underage Kennedy and her bottle...
failed the bar three times
Is that true?
IIRC “John-John” never passed the bar either.
Friend your Norweigian Elkhound is smarter than the entire Kennedy clan. Wonderful dogs. I had one when I was a teenager.
You may have summed it up nicely.
An ugly toad would be an improvement over Teddie. He is terminally dumb. And thoroughly worthless, except for his money.
I certainly hope so.......that would be an enhancement to the mASS delegation to Washington, DC..\Zero plus Zero minus Negative Zero is Zero.
This is her daughter? Looks like the Kennedy jaw line. Must say, she has to be the most attractive female of the klan, I’ll give her that.
Good grief these people are like a bunch of 15 year old girls whispering the halls in between classes.
You don't, he did.
Is she sitting on another girl’s lap in that photo?
It's because she's a blonde.
Didn’t he pass it on the third time, I believe?
