The soap opera of the New York Senate seat selection took a unexpected turn when Caroline Kennedy announced in a statement early this morning that, for personal reasons, she was withdrawing her name from consideration. This after she spent weeks lobbying for the job. New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo may now be the front-runner to replace Hillary Clinton.

She probably looked at the mess and said, “I don’t need this.”
I agree 100% – She would have never gotten past those that thought she got the job just because her last name was Kennedy.
Maybe she found out that Blind Lemon Patterson wasn’t going to select her.
She’ll now have time to get back to Mass. for the uncle Teddy death watch. Maybe she’ll have a shot at his seat.
Replace a Kennedy with a Kennedy.
Good point Hank, didn’t think of that.
It ummm finally ummm dawned ummmm on ummm Caroline, that ummmm she ummm is ummm too ummm dumb ummm for umm the ummm job.
Or she has some nasty skeleton or two in her closet.

Probably right on that Hank.
We’ll sure miss the swimmer.
We hardley knew ye.
Yep, Uncle Teddy was one of the last real statesmen. Hopefully, he’ll pass peacefully surrounded by loving family in his home.
Not like Mary Jo, abandoned, scared, wet, cold and in the dark.
Mary Jo appears to have survived for a few hours in the back seat of the car, where an air bubble remained.
Then when the air finally ran out, she gasped and violently thrashed about fighting for air.
During this time of Utter Terror and Torture for Mary Jo, Ted Kennedy was cowardly walking home and trying to figure out a way to run and hide from this event.
The ULTIMATE WATER BOARDING, taking a car ride with Ted Kennedy.
The ultimate car crash.
Breaking up with Laura Bush and having her run a stop sign and T-Bone your car.
Dead is dead.
Let’s count kills, shall we.
Laura Bush 1
Ted Kennedy 1
Nathan? Number unknown
The Laura Bush defense of Ted Kennedy.
Yawwwwnnnnn……..
If they are all murderers, then it’s ok.
Isnt this fun?
I love counting kills.
Please repost where I defended Ted.
Obviously, nobody can know her motivation, but it certainly is interesting that people didn’t fall all over themselves about the last name. Is it possible that she realized that the seat was not hers by “entitlement”?
We have the Kennedys, the Brits have the Winsors.
The East Coast media types have never gotten over Jack Kennedy. Bought the Kennedy hype hook, line and sinker. I for one have been sick of it for a long, long time.

Presto-chango. I suppose this means she’s going back to C Kennedy-Schlossberg now. How convenient.
Duh.
She realized she wasn’t going to get the job, and took the graceful way out.
Next!
Word finally got out that, Yes, she is a Dork.
If she really wants the job she’ll just run when they do the special election and outspend whoever gets appointed
Housekeeper and Taxes Are Said to Derail Kennedy’s Bid
Problems involving taxes and a household employee surfaced during the vetting of Caroline Kennedy and derailed her candidacy for the Senate, a person close to Gov. David A. Paterson said on Thursday, in an account at odds with Ms. Kennedy’s own description of her reasons for withdrawing.

What’s up with Caroline Kennedy?
Skeletons in the closet, that’s what I would guess.
Skeletons too big to face publicly.
The news is already saying tax and employee problems.
No functional loss anyway.
“Skeletons in the closet, that’s what I would guess.
Skeletons too big to face publicly.”
You guys remind me of a bunch of gossipy old women.
DON’T FORGET THE PARTY TOMORROW!!!!!!!
I have a feeling we will all know what her personal reasons are before long. Until then, it’s all just gossip.
