How does being on various non-profit boards, helping choose the new director of the Harvard University Institute of Politics, writing letters of recommendation for kids trying to get into a particular school, lending star power to raise money for public schools and being a Barack Obama insider qualify one for the United States Senate? Is the rule just that if one’s last name is “Kennedy,” all other matters are overlooked?
It’s nice to see that there are other Democrats in New York willing to speak up on this issue. The question, of course, is whether they will carry the day. I’m betting that celebrity will win out over substance in the end.

So was Biden even her pick?

There Is No Crisis
Huh? Kennedy ain't the problem
montresor Tuesday, December 16th at 12:17AM EST (link)SO, you think a country who elects a President without significant relavant experience is going to ask for experience to replace a WOMAN senator that, well, basically had no experience to begin with?
Always remember, this country elected the guy who did everything he could to discredit the surge and then sided with the Russians when they bullied Georgia.
Cry when you realize that God is just.

Kennedy and Palin
jack_lemoine Tuesday, December 16th at 12:43AM EST (link)So Caroline Kennedy is gunning for US Senate? Why is nobody asking her about her qualifications? Never been elected to anything; never had to be responsible for any policy issue - ever. Should be a shoe-in for the Sarah Palin treatment, right?
Q. And what are your views on the Obama Doctrine, Ms. Kennedy? You don’t know of any Obama Doctrine? Ah, ha! Gotcha!
But of course there are differences.
As for Ms. Palin?
So of course Caroline is going to get treated much differently that Sarah was. - The Royal Treatment.

Adjoran Tuesday, December 16th at 2:35AM EST (link). . . miss Hillary in the Senate!
Just wait until the trendy-lefty CK takes the seat! Hillary’s positions will seem oh, so . . . moderate.
I need a drink.
let us hope it is CK... attack the D nepotism angle
JLenardDetroit Tuesday, December 16th at 2:53AM EST (link)when the time comes around that she has to get elected she will remain aloof and unwilling to do all the “little-stuff” campaigns require (out State voters, she’ll expect them to just re-crown her) and will possibly be beatable under attack for her only qualification being nepotism… That Hillary got the seat because she was a Clinton, CK because she is a Kennedy, and (a campaign ad should pointedly say) IT IS FINALLY TIME FOR SOMEONE THAT HAS ACTUALLY SERVED NEW YORKERS AND EARNED NEW YORKERS TRUST to actually be elected!

bk Tuesday, December 16th at 2:53AM EST (link)A woman who has never been elected to any public office but who has family members in politics wants to become a New York Senator.
I’m getting a feeling of déjà vu….
Based on Kennedy's qualifications..
Vinnster Tuesday, December 16th at 9:41AM EST (link)I am surprised Hillary is not insisting Chelsea get the seat. They both have zero experience at anything.
You have to admit it would be pretty priceless
bk Tuesday, December 16th at 10:10AM EST (link)to hear CK saying about CC: “What experience does she have besides parents in politics?”
Just Say No to CK
WHAT Tuesday, December 16th at 10:08AM EST (link)Have you ever heard this woman speak? Maybe O will take pity and loan her his teleprompter. Better yet, wonder if they make portable models so she’ll never have to leave home without it.
What’s her qualification, oh yea, she is one of the only Kennedys who didn’t qualify for a Darwin Award.
Too bad Marilyn Monroe, Mary Jo Kopeckni and all the other victims won’t get to vote.
Let’s see, Ted wants his wife to inherit his seat, Chris wants the Illinois seat and CK wants the New York seat. I’m starting to lose track of all the greed here.
I hope New Yorkers have the good sense to send her packing.
New York State needs 'change'
fisk2521 Tuesday, December 16th at 10:58AM EST (link)Liberals have literally destroyed New York State. I have to include “State” in that sentence because those who live in New York City don’t know there is a very large state beyond the borders of the city , and that’s where the bulk of attention and money goes.
Caroline will only make that situation much worse because being a liberal when you are privileged is easy - - policies don’t really effect you. I remember well Ted Kennedy’s devasting busing policy during the 70’s - - where he told you to put your young child on a bus that took them across town into dangerous neighborhoods and very bad schools, while he sent his kids to Choate. I’m guessing Caroline opposes school vouchers for private schools; and am equally sure she has sent every one of her children to a very expensive private school. The Clintons did the same, and now Obama, that great socialist supporter of public school systems, is sending his daughters to the same school Chelsea went to in DC. Who could blame him … even with the large amount of money spent per child in DC, the schools are horrific.
New York needs a Senator that will work to alleviate this state of the tax burdens on homes, utilities, and every other damn thing that they can tax to support their liberal programs. These policies have forced industry to leave, retirees to leave their lifelong communities and homes and young people to move elsewhere. It is one of the few states that is actually losing population in the country.
The very last thing NEW YORK needs is Caroline Kennedy to give us more of the same.
