Being a Senator is not a job you can use as a try-out to see if you like being in politics. If Caroline Kennedy wants to be in politics, let her run for State Senator and find out that way. The people of New York deserve better than a neophyte on a fact-finding tour. They deserve a Senator who will work for them, not one who may or may not like the job and is using the Senate seat to find out. For Caroline Kennedy to get the appointment would be a horrible thing to do to the people of New York who are accustomed to Hillary's stellar and hardworking representation. And as for her uncle Ted threatening the legislation that would affect NY, well that is literally criminal. It's pay for play in its crudest form. The only thing we owe the Kennedys in public office is their salaries. And the assassinated members of the family are owed sorrow and reverence for their sacrifice on behalf of the country. Their relatives are owed condolences.. and nothing more. And what are the people of New York supposed to do for a Senator while Caroline Kennedy is finding out if politics is what she wants to do??

Has the cult of Clinton already identified Chelsea as their next object for adoration? The often repeated claim that Obama has a messianic hold on his supporters looks increasingly like a projection of Clinton enthrallment. Is this a joke?

She won her district in upstate NY by 20 points against a Republican who self-funded to the tune of 7 million against her 4 million raised! It's a Republican district to boot.

I, for one, do not want a woman President. I want a qualified woman President. I don't want a figurehead for the boys to use; that ain't progress.

Wow!! We are really doom when our politics now is left to nothing but name recognition, star power and who's who. No wonder Palin could not make it she had no glitter and glam, we was a plain Palin. Seems as if running for office, no longer hinges on what you bring to the table, what political/executive experience you have its now star power. I hope one day some Americans wake up and realize how screwed we are, and really look at all these shinning stars presently on this political scene, if some of us don't we are going to be in a heap of trouble and this country is going to be in choas I heard one of the pundits on FOX this morning say, that New York is in trouble and its needs star power in the Senate so Caroline Kennedy because of her name is a good fit for this NY seat.

This is starting to look like the worst political patronage system in history! Obama needn't think he has 8 years sewn up. His blackness won't protect him against every adversity that may occur, and if his administration starts to look too much like Chicago or Detroit, the Repubs will have a field day. He's made some very smart choices, but if they look too much like pay-offs, it's all going to go sour--just like it has for W with his loyalists and Regents U. grads. And people should remember that the Kennedy mystique did not win MA or CA for Obama in the primaries. And part of the family has been sullied now, for many Boomers, by its support of Obama.

When someone does their job well enough to become a star, hate factions set out to bring them down. This is especially true if the star is a woman, at least from what I've seen. You know the Kerry Kennedy gang will be in there with Obama, poisoning him against her. it’s just like the workforce.
