I agree. Stevez, I look at your posts about Caroline Kennedy, and you seem very bitter. I don't understand this level of dislike for the person. All she did was express interest in the Senate position. She has a reputation as being a down to earth person, not a snotty socialite. She's a Harvard graduate, and has a law degree. She's obviously no lightweight intellectually. Whether or not she gets the position, it seems to me there is no harm in her asking to be considered. Patterson will look at many factors, focusing on who can best deliver for New York. He'll also have to consider who can successfully run a campaign in the future, and raise the enormous amounts of money that is required for that purpose. She certainly has the name recognition for that piece of the job. If she doesn't get the job, she'll go back to doing good work such as her past efforts in helping the Department of Education raise $65million for NYC public schools. I've read that since her kids are grown, she now feels she has the opportunity to be more involved politically, and that she will be more visible in the future, regardless of whether or not she gets the Senate seat. I just don't get why so many people are up in arms about this issue. She's another name in the hat -- give it a rest.
