Nooooooooo!!!

New blood!

I'm so sick of Kennedys, Bushs, and Clintons!

I hope it's true, she is a brilliant and elegant lady. I'm sue she will serve ALL the people of New York.

I would love to see Caroline fill Hillary's seat - heck, that'd be worth moving to New York for!

I thought i heard somewhere that she might be one of Obama's ambassadors...

I hope this is true. I am sure she will serve all her constituents with care and respect.

I'm curious. Does C Kennedy even live in New York? I know it doesn't matter, since Clinton didn't live in New York either, but I thought there was some sort of residency requirement to be a senator.

Yes Dave, Caroline Kennedy lives in New York City, with her husband and kids. He is President of Edwin Schlossberg, Inc., a Multi-Disciplinary Design Company that specializes in Interactive Exhibit Design and Museum Master-Planning.

She is so cute, I love Caroline. I know she's big on public education so I thought Secretary of Education would have been good for her, but this is fine too.

Yessss!!!! I love me some Kennedy's and some Clinton's

Eh...although I do like her I don't think she would be the best choice for New York.

I love the Kennedys!

ummmm, haven't we seen what the Kennedy Curse gets us? A war in southeast asia, a drunken ski accident, two assasinations, and a plane crash...

When so many people of one family achieve high office, I think we can be sure that merit didn't get them there.

You go, Carolina Moon.

me too, wadewifey

I'm curious about the credentials that make her qualified to serve as a senator. She has been very involved in public service, but she's never held elected office and she has no legal education that I know of. The Senate is an awfully big stage with a lot of power and I'm not sure it's the place to go for on the job training. Perhaps a state-level post first?

She's more qualified than most Senators probably - Kennedy is an attorney, editor, writer and member of the New York and Washington, D.C. bars - has written books on civil liberties, is considered an expert on the First Amendment, and edited a version of her father's book "Profiles in Courage."
She's involved in the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library, where she is the foundation president. One thing her work for the for the Foundation does is make her aware of elected officials - they give annual profiles in courage awards to officials who, acting in accord with their conscience, risk their careers by pursuing a larger vision of the national, state or local interest in opposition to popular opinion or powerful pressures from their constituents.
Kennedy has worked as chief executive for the Office of Strategic Partnerships for the New York City Department of Education and helped raise more than $65 million for the city’s public schools. She serves on the boards of legal and arts groups.

Other senators have been housewives, exterminators, obstetricians...

Well, as long as she's written a book and edited some sort of journal, I think she's qualified for any position in the United States government.

I like Caroline and I think she'd do a fine job.
God knows we've elected worse people to more important offices. George W. anyone?? And I honestly don't think she'd take on a role like this if she didn't feel she was capable of doing a good job of it.

She's far more experienced and qualified for any job than Sarah Palin is.

Thanks for all that information, Steph. I honestly wasn't aware of all her experience. From what you said, it sounds like she would make a great Senator!

"She's far more experienced and qualified for any job than Sarah Palin is."

What?

Is Sarah Palin the standard by which we measure potential senators now? Or was Palin in the running?

Random.

Not a standard Mich, simply a recent, topical, comparison.
