I agree with so many of these comments. I cannot believe someone of her stature is coming to The Villages and we hear nothing. On a different, but similar subject lately I have been seeing more and more Obama/Biden signs on golf carts and at homes. Thank Goodness! It is pleasing to know there are more than a few of us.

if the local Dems org isn't publicizing it, where did y'all say the problem was?

The various parties seem to be pushing their pieces where they will do the most good (get the most votes for their candidates).

I usually look at these as chess matches between the various handlers of the major candidates. I doubt if the people who are more in the spectator role in this match-- like local political organizers-- get a whole lot of notice as to who is coming and when.

Thanks for the info...I wish I was in town, I would love to see her. Since I am now an offical Villager I was going to subscribe to the local paper, but now I have decided I WILL NOT!

Maybe this is just a big rumor. That would make me feel a lot better than to realize Caroline Kennedy was coming to our community and The Daily Sun intentionally decided to not write about it.

This is not a rumor. She will be there. I did the R.S.V.P on the Obama site and received my confirmation. Caroline Kennedy has stayed out of politics and for her to get involved, stating she see's the hope that her father inspired, speaks volumes.

Helene, I see that you will be living in the Bonita Village... congrats, it's a lovely area! We just toured the area recently and thought it was great.

I also see there is a lot of indignation that the developer won't promote the opposition party in The Daily Sun. Mr. Peachie and I always start and stop the subscription of The Daily Sun when we are in town because we enjoy much of the information we derive from it's contents. We DO NOT, however, consider this a "newspaper" from which to gather hard news or event information of the Democratic Party. And most of the informed people in TV have a newspaper delivered in addition to The Daily Sun or read online additions of other news sources. (There is much bias in any newspaper, hard to find unbiased reporting these days).

So don't be afraid to enjoy The Daily Sun when in TV but realize as most of The Villagers do, it is an advertising piece for the developer with interesting articles and classified ads and not meant to promote political foes. We personally, would never read one news source for information, balance is always needed.

Enjoy your new home!

Her claim to fame is her father was once president?

Oshunluva - I assume you forget her father and uncle were assassinated for their political beliefs and she grew up without a father except for Ted who stepped in as a surrogate. Oh, I forgot, they were not Republicans. As your sign off used to say - eradicate Democrats.

Thanks Peachie.....we are not there full time yet, but will be coming up at least once or twice a month. It seems like a real nice area and the neighbors that we have met are very nice. Still not sure about the Daily Sun though...

Since this information is not publicized in the local newspaper, it would be a nice gesture to at least put it on a sticky for TOTV readers to see.

To all of you who bash the local paper for being conservative or whatever else you may say...do you criticize the New York Times, The New York Daily News, The New York Post, The Chicago Tribune for any "bent" or leaning they have ???????

This paper of course is not in their league in so many ways, but even more reason to understand. Read and enjoy the Daily Sun for what it is worth...if you rely on it for all of your hard news then you are uninformed !! Why bash the paper !!!

I'm a conservative Republican. However, if I knew I was moving to a community where the "news"paper is whitewashed and censored I would have considered other golf communities in the sunbelt. I don't care what your political stance is.... when you grow up in America you read about news being censored in communist and other countries, not here. I still am hoping there is a reasonable explanation why this was not in The Daily Sun.

who cares.....???????

I for one have had a belly full of the kennedy's a long time ago...........

I love the paper! BUT....I read it knowing it is not going to give all of the information I am looking for....but that is why we have other papers...or the web....or the news....

When the front page headlines are about an angel in the neighborhood....or golf cart rally's....you get my drift.....

However....I thought it would have been of some significance to TV's to post this in the paper....I know they are a primarily republican based paper....but Caroline Kennedy is famous...regardless of how she got that way....she is famous...and it is going to be interesting to listen to her....

The Daily Sun....good and fun to read....keeps people in the bubble if that is where they want to be.....BUT this should be considered an EVENT in TV's at the Savannah Center...so therefore could have been printed....

IMHO....

Now we all know about it....and those that want to go can do so....and those that don't....we will surely let you know what you missed!
