She’s assuredly working on that already.

In the meantime between now and the 2010 election, she’ll minimize her public exposure. When she does speak publicly, it will be in controlled venues or to friendly reporters. No Bill O’Reilley for Caroline.

(Although, I may be wrong about that. Bill often goes sott on controversial guests….I’m not sure why. Maybe that’s the only way they’ll agree to come on his show, or maybe that’s his way of demonstrating that he’s his own man, beholden to no one political faction. OR…maybe it’s his way of showing mercy, as good kings are wont to do.)

Caroline has two years to make herself acceptable to enough New Yorkers to get reelected in 2010. She’s oot enough supporters in the NY MSM to stay safely hidden.

So we get all kinds of benefits if she’s the pick.

Kennedy starts out as a dipsy Manhattan socialite running against a blue collar Republican with strength in Long Island.

That’s about the best matchup we can hope for in New York.

I remember lots of liberals worldwide fuming that NC repeatedly reelected Jesse Helms. Well…it wasn’t Davos Man/Woman’s call—Tarheels got to make that call.

If Empire Staters decide they want to continue supportin a royal family, they have every right to de facto cede one of their Senate seats to the Kennedys. As Delaware has done for the Bidens.

about this pick. On one hand she will likely be a liability in terms of her lack of experience and the persistent griping that she was gifted the seat because of her pedigree. On the other hand the double standard of those in the press that claim she is qualified while Sarah Palin was unqualified drives me nuts. However, if we can continue to make an issue of this double standard maybe we can continue to drive the MSM out of business.
If Biden gets his son in his seat then I think the GOP needs to work hard on making the Dems look like a bunch of wannabe Lords and Ladies deciding whom to bequeath their honorary Senate seats.

… governement of the beaurocrats, by the beaurocrats and for the beaurocrats.

The anti- democratic Democratic Party. My test for the new RNC chair is simple. Its about message and message control. If you cant organize the troops to beat the Democrats over the head with this unholy triumverate that is symbolic of Democratic elitism, corruption and nepotism then you fail.

Republican mantra for 2010

Bill Clinton is first choice

spending is increasing. The outlook is gloomy to downright horrible for the next few years. Caroline is a true rookie, and an inarticulate one at that. She sets up Rep. King for a good run at the seat. King’s no conservative, but he’s the best we can hope for in the short term for Senator.
How Patterson handles the economic crisis will determine if we get a shot at Gov. He has some rational streaks, seemingly to fight against tax increases - knowing that businesses and the middle class will flee. But his party will not put up with cut backs to larded up govt programs, and I doubt he has the influence to sway the legislature.

We could end up tipping the state legislature (at least the Senate) back to our side, and gaining a US Senate seat and Gov are possible.

I’m still looking at leaving in the near future. Better to leave now before the whole thing caves in on itself. Taxes are getting crazy.

This is ironic but why not Caroline? Let the Dems self-destruct.

If I were Paterson, I would invite Neil Diamond to sing Sweet Caroline while Paterson’s making up his mind.

I mean, she used to be so cute!

“Two years of inarticulate, fumbling blathering”

Sounds amazingly like Sarah Palin. Why was she picked exactly? How soon we forget.

Then Moe, you take her. I’m with Allahpundit on this one. We both have to live with a brain dead socialite in the Senate. Though one would be hard pressed to pick her out of crowd of say, 100?

I mean, totally, like, for real I just want to thank, you know, our Governor, for like, totally picking me for this Senate thing.

There really isn’t a more beatable Democrat that could run for this Senate seat than Caroline (except maybe Patterson). If she gets the nod, she will run for the actual election, and most likely win her primary. Democrats are such suckers for the Kennedy name.

A moderate Republican like Peter King has an excellent chance at knocking off Caroline, even in a deep-blue state like New York. My guess is being a Democrat will be radioactive in 2010.

The current rumor from the Denver papers is that our outgoing first term Senator, picked by Mr Obama to be Sec of the Interior, will be replaced by the former Chief of Staff to Denver’s Mayor, currently serving as Denver Schools boss.
So we, Colorado get TWO brand new Senators this time around. Although Udall has years in the House.
Kennedy at least has a name, our potential new guy Bennett is unknown outside Denver, and not all that well loved even there.

A Senate with Princess Caroline KENNEDY (schloppyburger) and AL Franken. Don’t forget the returning Dim crooks like Dodd.

CSPAN2 will be the new Comedy Central.

Don’t say anything to screw this up. We’re stuck with a liberal democrat in that seat one way or another. I’d much rather have an inarticulate, inexperienced newbie than a well practiced hatchet man.

Plus, how hard is it going to be on Chuckie Schumer to race to the cameras, just to find them focused on Princess Caroline?
