Hillary Clinton's Senate seat, which may make it difficult for New York Gov. David Paterson not to send President John F. Kennedy's only living child to Washington.
While she has to win over only one voter - Paterson - Kennedy essentially began a political campaign for the seat, which was once held by her uncle, Robert F. Kennedy, with a visit to upstate New York on Wednesday.

Another political and financial dynasty continues. This is disgusting.
How in the world are you going to find anyone else with the integrity, honor, believability, HONESTY, no axe to grind, money nor fame as an issue, etc. What a breadth of fresh CLEAN air she would be. jb
This would be a real travesty just to satisfy an aging ego.
CAROLINE (kennedy) SCHLOSSBERG should be hounded about her lack of any political experience like the qualified Sarah Palin was by you liberal clowns!
