To the people from NY upset about the possibility of Caroline Kennedy
You could do a hell of alot worse. From what I'm reading and hearing locally at least your Govenor and State Party big whigs aren't trying to get Chris Matthews to run. I know your going to say there will be a primary however, once the State Party machine and the Govenor gets behind you its very difficult for an opponent to get the fundraising and media attention to run a succesful campaign. So, in my parties infinite wisdom they are selecting a candidate who hasn't lived in PA for over 30 years, knows little of anything outside of Philadelphia, and is probably the most hated figures amongst those who supported Hillary Clinton in the Primaries (who won PA by close to 10 points). In short...he's a sure fire loser in this state, however it appears Ed Rendell has a tingle up his leg for him.

So either have a sure fire loser of a democratic candidate and the possibility of Santorum or Toomey if they challenge Specter in the Primary or I have Chris Mattews as my senator and who the hell knows what that guy really thinks.

So no matter what you think about Caroline...we'd take her in PA in a heartbeat.

2. I'll take her here in Colorado.
Since the governor will be making an appointment here too. I'd be very happy to have Caroline Kennedy represent me.

They could do a hell of a lot better, as well.

6. We'll take her
She can carpet bag down here if it stops Fast Eddie or Mathews getting the seat from Specter.

5. This NYer will be delighted to have Caroline Kennedy fill Hillary's seat
A thousand days just wasn't enough. Not only is she a fine lady and a smart one, but she's courageous just for considering it.
