Why Caroline Kennedy Will Get Hillary's Senate Seat
The Daily Post reminds us of the number one reason why Caroline Kennedy will likely be the next junior senator from New York:
Obama wants her.
Never mind the all-powerful Kennedy family, it's simply not a good idea to cross your president.
But the New York Post makes the point, in numerous ways, that Governor David Paterson is damned if he does and damned if he doesn't. One particular damnation sounds more severe than the others, assuming Paterson wants to stay in the Governor's office:
"David goes with Caroline with the understanding that Caroline, and her family and its resources, go with David next year. This stuff with Paterson saying he's looking at other people is a crock," the source continued.
