    Another Kennedy for Senate?

    Posted:
    12/5/08
    The rumor du jour is that New York governor David Paterson has reached out to Caroline Kennedy about possibly filling Hillary Clinton's soon-to-be-vacant Senate seat. ABC News broke the story, sourcing a "Democrat who would know." It's the seat Caroline's uncle, Robert F. Kennedy, once held.
    It's not exactly shocking that Paterson would reach out to one of the most highly respected public figures in New York, but this is: Sources say Kennedy is considering it, and has not ruled out coming to Washington to replace Hillary Clinton in the Senate.
    Caroline Kennedy has very close ties to Barack Obama, which could be a deciding factor for her. Maybe she believes the time is right for her to take the next step in her public life.

    Robert Kennedy, Jr. said he wasn't interested in the position but he told the New York Times, "Caroline Kennedy would be the perfect choice if she would agree to it."

    Is Caroline Kennedy a good choice to replace Hillary Clinton?
