New York's Next Senator

December 5, 2008, 4:47PM

There were <a href="http://blogs.abcnews.com/thenote/2008/12/the-note-120508.html">rumors</a> floating around earlier today that Caroline Kennedy might be selected to replace Hillary Clinton as New York's next Senator. I am among the many who have a really high opinion of Caroline Kennedy and would be delighted to see her get the nod.

When Hillary first ran for the Senate, one of New York's longstanding US representatives, Nita Lowey, also very sharp, more or less was elbowed out of the way according to the accounts I've seen. She'd be an outstanding choice as well.

Trying again with the link to the rumor floating around today about Caroline Kennedy as a possibility for New York's next Senator.
