| Description | Yesterday we made the case for why Caroline Kennedy should be Gov. David Paterson's pick for the Senate seat being vacated early next year by Hillary Rodham Clinton. Today, we tackle the opposite argument. (And, make sure to read legendary New York political columnist Fred Dicker's own case against Kennedy.)
Who Is She (Really)?
For most Americans, the lasting image they have of Caroline Kennedy is as a child at her father's funeral. She has purposely avoided the limelight since those early, tragic days of her life and, as a result, there is VERY little known about her adult life beyond the fact that she is part of American political royalty.
While that profile is plenty powerful for many aspects of public life (as an endorser and veep vetter for President-elect Barack Obama, for example), it isn't enough to get her elected and re-elected to a Senate seat -- especially in the rough and tumble world of New York politics. |
