excuse me but do you realize that andrew cuomo is

[SwampG8r]

also a kennedy by marriage?
to everyone commenting on caroline kennedy and andrew cuomo
just so you know
he is a kennedy too
by marriage

[hlthe2b]

1. Yup.... but then I have no problem with Caroline in the Senate

[FrenchieCat]

2. Someone told me that there was a divorce, no?

Cuomo is a Cuomo, the it's kind of the same thing as being a Kennedy to a point, in New York anyways.

[pnwmom]

3. Yes, you're right on both counts. n/t

[Captain Hilts]

10. A very ugly divorce. Really bare knuckles. nt

[PM Martin]

4. Not exactly right.

He married into the Kennedy family, but the Kennedy's did not get him where he is today.

[Warren Stupidity]

5. No his dad did.

[elleng]

15. HE got himself where he is today, by learning a few things

from his father.

I'm very unhappy with the unpleasant complaints around here about 'family names.'

People get where they get because of what they do; that includes you and me, etc etc.

I got where I got because I learned a few things from my family: my UNCLES the lawyers, my FATHER the lawyer, my COUSIN the lawyer; and my BROTHER the lawyer has learned a few things from all of us. Thats how it works; its called FAMILY VALUES, and we all have them.

[Thrill]

6. Didn't he divorce?

[Cha]

7. He was a Kennedy until the

Kennedy wanted someone else and if I remember correctly ..he was a republican.

[ShortnFiery]

8. Yes, it's all about Plutocracy and "the masses" are seemingly happy to be given the scraps.

How sad. :(

[mrreowwr_kittty]

9. He's a Cuomo too.

Nothing against either family and nothing against either he or Caroline Kennedy being up for consideration. I just think they should have to compete against a broad field of qualified candidates and not get extra points because of their family names.

[angee_is_mad]

11. He was Divorced by a Kennedy

is more like it. His wife had an affair on it shook him up pretty bad. He went to the media and spilled the beans on her and her lover.

[Clio the Leo]

12. Aren't we ALL Kennedys when you get right down to it? :-) NT

[ShortnFiery]

13. No, we're not ALL - by birth and privilege - "Kennedys" et. al.

I despise the FILTHY rich who think they "earned it" or somehow they are ENTITLED to a powerful political position because of their family name.

[elleng]

16. YES.

.

[mtnsnake]

14. That makes him a Kennedy about as much as I'm a Kennedy for shaking hands with a Kennedy

[rvablue]

17. Except that he is divorced from a Kennedy....does that still make him a Kennedy? n/t

[H2O Man]

18. He had a role

in his father's campaigns that was similar to RFK's role in JFK's 1960 presidential campaign. It's probably one of the least known, hence least appreciated, parts of his career.

[izzybeans]

19. And he's a Cuomo

[OswegoAtheist]

20. So is the Governator.

I don't think it helped him in the Republican party circles.

[onenote]

21. I think, technically, he is an "ex-Kennedy" since he's an "ex-husband"
