Reid Pushing Kennedy for Senate Seat
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) is recommending Caroline Kennedy for the seat to-be vacated by Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) once she is named Secretary of State, First Read has learned.
Reid also spoke with Nevada political journalist Jon Ralston:
REID: “She’s 52 years old. I’ve spoken to her. She was part of a vetting process for vice presidential choices for Obama. She’s lived in government and politics her whole life. I think it would be a tremendous thing. … We have a lot of stars from New York. Bobby Kennedy. Hillary Clinton. I think Caroline Kennedy would be perfect.”
RALSTON: “So, are you going to call the governor of New York and say, “‘She’s fine in my book?’”
REID: “I already have.”
