Well the speculation is over. Caroline Kennedy just publicly announced she wants the new york senate seat being vacated by Hilary Clinton. What do you think... will she get it? Should she get it?

While I certainly do not think she is the most qualified candidate, she's probably the candidate that the people of New York would like to see represent them and they would probably vote for her in a run off election. So I guess if you look at it that way, she should get it.

Of course she will....look who her father was. He was assinated while in office. There has always been a romantic remembering of him and Jackie, not to mention their children. But how is she herself qualified not who her father was.

My point wasn't WHY the people of New York wanted her but merely THAT they probably wanted her and ultimately it will be their choice for whatever reason they deem fit.

I'm with you, Irish. If she's the one the voters in N.Y. want it doesn't really matter what any of us from other states think at all, does it? Annie

Well good for her for winning the genetic lottery. Let us just be honest if Caroline Kennedy was born to a Janowski she would not be any where close to the senate seat. The New York Democrat party will give the seat to her just because of what her uncle, father, or brother has done.

Yep. Two Kennedys get murdered in office so I guess any Kennedy that wants it now can have it. But given that past would you really want it?

I don't know much about her actualy. From what little I do know, from her writing, she is almost libertarian in her ideology, wouldn't be a bad thing to have in congress would it? But all that aside, she has zero experience, not just "little" experience, but zero. If the people of that district in NY want her, than it's their perogative I guess. If patterson deiceds he wat's her, it's his perogative, he is reposnable for the appointment, lets just hope he does a lot of asking around and go with who ever the people of NY decide they want.
