So, it looks like Caroline Kennedy is the frontrunner to replace Hillary Clinton as our Senator here in NY. Apparently our Governor, “Blinky” Paterson, has become quite enamored with her. I’m not sure how to feel about that. I’d been hoping it would go to Louise Slaughter, who is both a woman (which is apparently a deal-breaker, to appease the angry PUMAs), and from Upstate NY (Rochester). But she’s apparently thrown her support behind Kennedy. Well, I guess Caroline is at least a better alternative to Andrew Cuomo. There’s at least a possibility that she’s aware that NY State extends north of New York City. One can hope, anyway.
