Senator Kennedy?

Am I the only wondering whether Caroline Kennedy, the daughter of former President John Kennedy, having failed to get the appointment to fill out the New York senatorial term of Secretary of State Hilary Clinton; will now seek to fill out the term of her late uncle Massachusetts Senator Edward (Ted) Kennedy? 

Establishing residency never seems to be all that much of an issue for Senators these days; as Hilary Clinton, a resident of Arkansas before eight years of residence in the District of Columbia proved. 

Besides, this seat has been in the Kennedy family name for a number of years. Call me cynical, but the machinations of the elite political power brokers in general, and the Kennedy family in particular, cannot help but make one curious.

I hadn't actually gotten around to thinking that yet, but I bet you're right on the mark...

I would actually be very surprised if this happened, especially in light of her disasterous performances this winter while vying for the NY seat.

Tim,

Well, ya know, I don't really think that, ya know, she's, ya know, up, ya know, to, ya know, the task, ya know.

She, ya know, seems, ya know, to be, ya know, much less, ya know, of , ya know, an orator, ya know, than, ya know, her deceased, ya know, uncle, ya know...

She hurts my ears...
