26 percent of New York voters want Cuomo 23 percent of New York voters want Kennedy The rest say other or dont care This seems like bad news for Cuomo despite being the favorite among the constituency (and having the experience) it is very likely that the Kennedy dynasty will be giving the political golden ticket yet again. I wonder if things would be different if it wasn't the Kennedy family that put Obama over the top. |

I find it amusing that Democrats think she's qualified to be a senator yet they lambasted Sarah Palin as unqualified to be Vice President. What exactly has Caroline Kennedy done? |

Par for the course. What has Obama ever done besides getting elected. His Qualifications don't touch Palin's either but she was smacked as 'Carabou Barbie'. Its like trying to make NFL picks each week theres no Logic to it. All is not lost. Mitt is still a young man. As far as the New York seat goes I wonder why Caroline would want it. I know her son is JFKs grandson. I know her and John-John were not fond of politics and shunned an easy Legacy for privacy with their Mother. Watching Dad's head explode into fragments you can scrape off the car might do that to you. Is this a sentimental obligatory effort by her to feel all after the past and looking forward? I just don't buy it that at her age she wants to get into Politics.This would be less messy though since she would not have to campaign and be elected. You just show up and say " My Dad said. . ." If I lived in New York I would Mark Caroline "Return to Sender". Thanks but NO thanks. |

I assume she feels obligated to keep the Kennedy name in the game. Sorry some of us tried that with Clinton - it didnt work. |

I suspect some of this may have more to do with the idea that Ms. Kennedy's roots stem from Massachusetts, whereas Cuomo is viewed more as the hometown favorite. |
