Caroline Kennedy should be appointed Senator from NY

[Drunken Irishman]

There. :P

[Ichingcarpenter]

1. She's FRESH the others aren't

I don't think many understand that.

She will do it justice and then move on.

[Skink]

2. The guys blind though.

[AllentownJake]

3. She will be

Provides the most upside for Patterson. This is politics after all.

I think she'll be a wonderful Senator.

[cali]

4. put down your dime store crystal ball.

This is politics and predictions like yours are useless.

[AllentownJake]

5. I'm sorry

You don't like it.

However, I highly doubt it would have become public if there wasn't a good chance its going to happen. Deal.

[Forkboy]

15. Don't mind cali. The worlds largest stick resides in her ass.

[Forkboy]

14. more of that patented cali charm.

Because we all know that you've never made any predictions of what will happen in the field of politics while you've been on DU. :rofl:

[Captain Hilts]

6. No, it just avoids pitfalls for Paterson to name a placeholder. nt

[pecwae]

7. Why not Chelsea?

[saltpoint]

9. I think you have to be 30 years old to be a U.S. Senator.

Chelsea was born in 1980.

By 2010 she will be eligible.

[Honeycombe8]

13. She's not qualified. nt

[saltpoint]

8. I'm for it.

Who knows what Governor Paterson is thinking?

But CKS is a mighty fine choice if you ask me.

[Billy Shears]

10. Yes, she should

And after 8 years in the Senate, she will make a fine Presidential Candidate.

Obama's plan for the Future is becoming clearer.

[polichick]

11. She'd be as good as many others - the gov will probably choose...

...someone who can help him in the long run ~ it is politics, after all.

[Honeycombe8]

12. Wonderful idea. She's a New Yorker who has raised millions to aid NY schools, & other good works.

She's a real New Yorker who was partly reared by one of the foremost politicians of our country, Ted Kennedy. She interned in the U.S. Senate. She's highly intelligent and educated (Harvard, J.D. from Columbia).

Seems to me that New York could use someone they could trust to fill that seat for two years and vote the "right" way. She will probably not run in 2010, not being a campaigner type of person.

It sounds like a great idea.

16. No objections here.

At least she doesn't owe her career to the weaponeers.
