H/T to Allahpundit at Hot Air who brings up a good point:
One point I haven’t heard anyone raise yet: Precisely because Caroline’s vulnerable on the latter point, Senate Democrats will be forced to shore up her credibility right away by giving her a high-profile role on prominent legislation — and it’s not hard to guess what that legislation will be. Everyone comfy with an absolute novice being thrust into an area of policy that’s famously complex? Hillary was going to play point man on health care for Teddy had she remained in the Senate; now, ironically, it’ll probably be her replacement, at least for purposes of photo ops.
So this very inexperienced woman not only may be appointed to the US Senate, but could also be given a high profile position on day one to help bolster her experience creds. So much for the United States being a meritocracy.
I’ve heard Caroline’s appointment is a done deal, but we’ll have to wait and see about that. Paterson can’t be very popular with New Yorkers right now, after proposing his whopping tax increases. He’ll have to weigh the benefits of having help from the Kennedy fundraising machine with the possible backlash from appointing a woman who’s never held a a full time job. Hmmm….sounds eerily similar to another senate seat in another state.










Dear readers-
Oh no, NOT ANOTHER KENNEDY? Ted, John, and Bobby is enough. Please.

Dear readers-
In this writer’s opinion, the person should be one who can do the job not just name. Kennedy has no experience and I see another liberal bleeding heart like her father. I suggest that that state think twice and go with a Republcain if a GOOD DEMOCRAT is not.

Dear readers-
Forget the web page THE NEW REPUBLCAIN, They poor mouth themselves but will not print or hear good old honest truth regarding constitutional matters. Most in their favor from a Democrat point of view. I guess they are wishy -washy. I see the reason why they are almost vanishing from history. We have to get this done as conservative Democrats.
