Senate seat for Caroline Kennedy would extend legacy
Caroline Kennedy, who spent most of her life looking to steer clear of the spotlight, is capping off a year of unusually public — and political — activity with interest in the Senate seat that would vacated by Secretary of State-designate Hillary Clinton.

And her interest in that seat could mean the continuation of a Kennedy legacy in the Senate that began 56 years ago with the election of her father, John F. Kennedy, as the junior senator from Massachusetts.
Her uncle Edward has represented Massachusetts in the Senate for more than four decades. Her uncle Robert served as junior senator from New York from 1965 until he was assassinated in 1968.

Is Caroline Kennedy Even Qualified For The US Senate?

Now it's reported that Gov. Patterson is considering Caroline Kennedy's appt to Hillary's US Senate Seat. I would like you Democrats to explain to me how she is qualified for high office, considering that you people lambasted the Governor of Alaska as being unprepared for higher office. Is it because Caroline is "A Kennedy"? I thought we don't have royalty in the USA.
