Haven't the Democrat leaders learnt anything yet about the importance of great strategy? If not, let's remind them who the new President is; Obama and not Clinton or McCain.

The Republicans are shaking in their boots, praying Caroline won't be chosen.

For all of you comparing her to Clinton that is false, since she actually went and put her name on the ballot and ran for the office and the people of New York elected her. But for your first position as an elected official should not come as an appointment. I am sorry but that is not the way things should work. You should have to prove yourself somewhere along the line before you should get such an appointment.

So no she should not get this position. It is that simple people.

As for those who question Caroline's intelligence, well, I don't know how many of you are holders of a law degree from Columbia University and to write or co-write two books on the Bill of Rights and the Constitution, and four other books. I don't think she lacks smarts!

Are you really that dumb? Don't uh, uh, uh, uh bothers as I can guess and probably figure that you uh, uh, uh voted for someone that actually DID DRUGS and his name is uh, uh, Obama.

Sorry to let facts get in the way.

Caroline has gone from beloved from ALL circles to hated in many just because she feels it is her birthright to be Senator or maybe because she was all in for Obama.

You jokesters that still hammer Palin are funny as hell, we had someone who paid every dime for college, ran her own business, was elected Mayor and Governo, wentr against her OWN party, STUFF THAT WE WISH OUR POLITICIANS did as a resume builder and yet she is hammered because she talks funny and doesn't believe in murdering babies as a choice.

Then on the other hand you have this spoon fed, never worked a day in her life roll over one morning and she wants to be a Senator and she is the greatest thing since the chosen one.........

She won't answer questions from the press or disclose her finances, but gosh, she is so great and she loves Obambi, gosh, she is swell.

Bahhhh, sheep, bahhhh.

I REMEMBER WHOSE NIECE SHE IS. AND

IF BOTH OF THEM WERE ALIVE, THEY

WOULD TELL YOU THAT IF SHE LOVED THIS

NATION, THIS DEMOCRACY & THEIR DREAMS FOR

US, SHE WOULD HAVE BOTHERED TO VOTE. SHE WOULD

HAVE ROLLED UP HER SLEEVES AS THEY DID. THEY BOTH

WERE AWARE THAT THEIR LIVES WERE IN GREAT PERIL,

BUT HEY GOT UP & SPOKE. SHE CAN'T GET UP TO VOTE.

IN THE NATION OF JOHN & BOBBY, YOU EARN IT !!!!

He is (maybe already did), pushing through a tax increase on regular soda, but not diet. That means, the state would be discouraging people from drinking pop with sugar in it, and encouraging pop with a dangerous, cancer-causing, obesity-increasing (through insulin fluctuation), neurotoxin profiting pharmeceutical companies.

For years, FDA scientists warned about Aspartame, until Searle, Inc. CEO Donald Rumsfeld took things into his own, slimy, connected hands, and pushed through FDA approval.

Maybe the Governor doesn't know, but something tells me Big Pharma is trying to push their favorite Death-Bringer down the throats of New Yorkers.

With that said, I would love to see Patterson pick Fran Drescher.

With it looking more and more like Al Franken might win his seat, he is going to need a female counterpart in the senate.

Shame on the democratic leadership for not being able to handle its party's strongest candidate as its nominee. They just wanted the biggest pushover and wuss so they could play them like a puppet... that's why they screwed Hillary over in so many ways just to get Obama elected. Michigan and Florida... the caucus fraud... ganging up on superdelegates to go for Obama... unbelievable.

Shame on the media too, but that one is even more obvious. Even in the general election.

Caroline Kennedy is another Obama. Gov. Paterson, as a Hillary supporter during the primaries, please do not fall for hype like your party did! Go with Cuomo, go with anyone but this woman... even Drescher has done more than this joke.

A LOT MORE THAN MS. KENNEDY. I

HAVE VOTED EVERY SINGLE TIME.

WOMEN HAVE TO GET OFF THE "I AM A WOMEN",

& THEREFORE I QUALIFY. ISN'T THAT WHAT WE HATED ABOUT

"THE OLD BOY NETWORK". WE NEED TO QUALIFY, PERIOD !!!!

I mean, its not like its a hard job or anything. Here is what she has do do: 1. Listen to what Obama/Reid/Pelosi/Uncle Ted tell her to do. 2. Vote.

If NY puts her in, she isn't leaving except by her own choice or in a box. This country has a history of sending ridiculous, even embarrasing people back to the Senate. Couple that with NYer's obvious taste for celebrity and you have someone that NYers wouldn't vote out if she were selling nuclear secrets to Iran.

I used to do a lot of work for Kennedys (back when I was a democrat) and people get all starry-eyed around them. Some scarily so. Other people still call Ted "president kennedy" in a Freudian slip kind of way. So I feel quite comfortable saying that she won't ever be voted out once she is installed.

DYNASTY TYPES. WOMAN DOESN'T BOTHER TO VOTE

HERSELF BUT WANTS TO BE A SENATOR. DEMOCRAT OR

REPUBLICAN, THAT IS BUSH ARROGANCE. I HAVEN'T SERVED

YOU. I HAVE DONE NOTHING BUT LET ME LEAD YOU ??????

Leave rebels to die at the Bay of Pigs
Get played by Russia to give up all our missiles in Europe
Attack the unions
Start the Vietnam War
Get tossed from Harvard for cheating
Leave women in rivers while we sober up
Work the system to defend relatives behavior in hot tubs
Monroe & Mansfield

Then again?

Mr. Adewole:

I don't live in New York so I don't really care if Caroline Kennedy is chosed as the replacement for Clinton. However, her father's sacrifice should have no bearing on the selection process nor how much opposition she does, or does not, face. My dad was a great guy , bravely served our country during a time of war and was a brilliant executive. However, that doesn't make me qualified for anything. I am really tired of hearing the Kennedy family idolized like this. Yes, her father gave his life serving the country. But he wasn't a saint, nor were/are his brothers. I struggle to understand what his death, over 45 years ago, has to do with whether Caroline Kennedy should be a Senator. Quit idolizing the Kennedy family. It's tiresome.

BUT COULDN'T GET OUT OF BED TO VOTE.

ANY CITIZEN THAT VOTED QUALIFIES MORE THAN SHE DOES.

SHE COULDN'T BOTHER TO VOTE FOR.

WOMAN IS INSULTING EVERY VOTER IN

N.Y. THAT GETS OUT IN THE COLD TO VOTE.

A SENATOR THAT DOESN'T BELIEVE SHE SHOULD

VOTE DOES NOTHING FOR ME. THAT DISQUALIFIES

HER IF NOTHING ELSE DOES. 1000S MORE QUALIFIED.

UNITED,,,,,,,,,,,KINGDOM,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,AND,,,,,,,,,,,,,,IN,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,THE,,,,,,,,NEW,,,,,,,

YORK,,,,,,,,,,,DEMOCRATIC,,,,,,,,,,,,PARTY

Since we have turned the Senate into the house of Lords Hillary should think twice before giving up her senate seat. She should keep it for Chelsea.

And... As you could plainly see by the other posts here... The rest of the Nation feels the same way, so CNN, where did you get this "poll" from?

It actually would have made a better story...
