Kennedy Odds Low in Replacing Clinton
The odds of New York Gov. Paterson choosing Caroline Kennedy to replace soon-to-be Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in the US Senate are no better than 20-1, according to the New York Post.
Said the source: “It looks to me like [Caroline’s cousin] Bobby Kennedy may be trying to push Caroline more than Caroline is pushing herself.”
Update: The AP notes New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg gave a big boost to Kennedy as a possible Senate candidate, saying she is experienced and “can do anything.”
He added: “Caroline Kennedy is a very experienced woman, she’s worked very hard for the city. I can just tell you she’s made an enormous difference in New York City,”
