Our next senator
I'm just curious as to what everyone's opinion is as to who should be the person to replace Senator Clinton.
The name most spoken of, and by all accounts most likely to be appointed is Caroline Kennedy..thoughts?
I will say that I can see no obvious reason why she could or ever would be seriously considered for the spot beyond her last name.
I am still waiting for someone to make a case to me for her being senator that doesn't mention her father or her support for Obama and mentions the positions and experiences (beyond fundraising) that have prepared her for and elevated her to the level that warrants being appointed to be 1 of the 5 most powerful people in New York.
If she wants to be senator, she should run and let the people decide if she is qualified and not use backroom political pressure and the power of her family to have herself appointed to a position of such authority and power as if it is her birthright.
