Back on topic... sort of -
Because Hillary Clinton will likely be the Secretary of State, her Senate seat has to be filled by someone else. It's up to the Governor of NY State (David Patterson) to name a replacement. The news is he will be meeting with Caroline Kennedy tomorrow to discuss this.
The last of the "royal" family ....
and probably least controversial of that brood. Unless she's crashed head onto a wall while drunk or left a sinking car with a woman still alive inside that we don't know of.
Seriosly though, it's a politically neutral pick because again, she doesn't piss people off needlessly in a polarizing fashion like other picks could boomerang against Patterson and the New York state Democratic Party, and plus considering one of her certain uncles once held that seat, its good press.
If Caroline does take that gig, will she even run for re-election in the special election in 2010?
