Have We Heard From Hillary?
In reading all the back and forth commentary on whether Caroline Kennedy should be seriously considered for the senate seat that Hillary will vacate if appointed as Head of State, it seems that Senator Clinton is silent on the matter. Now it’s not unusual for a senator vacating their seat to weigh in on potential replacements so one has to wonder what Hillary really thinks.
While Senator Clinton had to be disappointed at Caroline’s backing of Obama, can that be part of the silence? Or, perhaps it is just that Hillary isn’t going to back a woman without any iota of relevant experience despite the famous last name. Hillary is too savvy to get caught up in a silly game of political tit-for-tat.
In the end it’d the governor’s decision to make. Governor Paterson seems to be unimpressed with Caroline when caught with the retort, “How is she a front-runner?”
