Poll: Caroline Kennedy Not Exactly Bowling Them Over In New York
NYC's WCBS-TV has the results of a new survey that finds New Yorkers seem to be pretty underwhelmed by the prospect of Caroline Kennedy as their senator. Only about 27 percent of voters want to see Kennedy appointed to Hillary Clinton's seat, while 58 percent want Governor Paterson to pick Attorney General Andrew Cuomo.
Still it appears Kennedy remains the front runner for the seat that her uncle once held.

Still it appears Kennedy remains the front runner for the seat that her uncle once held.
the buzz around Kennedy has not waned. She's picked up nods of approval from New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and The Rev. Al Sharpton. And just last week CBS 2 HD learned exclusively that Kennedy's nemesis, Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, had a change of heart about her qualifications for office. Sources said it was people close to Paterson who pushed Silver to do the public about face.Paterson has said he won't pick a new senator until Hillary is seated as secretary of state, which could be well into February. That means Kennedy has plenty of time to garner the public's -- and, more importantly, the governor's -- goodwill.

I have come to the conclusion that all politcal news should be in the entertainment section. Or at least the crime section.

You wonder whether the Kennedys (Ted) made a deal with Patterson, or even Obama.
