Caroline Kennedy now appears to be a 'shoe in' for the NY Senate Seat. The Governor who came in amidst the Spitzer disaster has to run for election. Appointing Caroline will give him the Kennedy family support, and ahem money for support.  But upstate NY is apparently furious at being left out again, backlash, and sliding polls for the governor, gee this is no easy job. 

I posed the question in ethics class about fairness.  Caroline has not even consistently voted in elections, much less run for anything or for that matter, actually run anything in her life. Her interviews have been an elocution disaster laced with ya knows and uh huhs.  But, she is the heir apparent of the Presidency deemed to be Camelot. I pointed out that the names don't change much on the national ballots, this is beginning to look like France in the 1780s, one is elevated to office by birth and privilege, not hard work, just ask Sarah Palin, or Hillary come to think of it who earned 18 M votes to Biden's mere 10,000, no not a typo. Yet now Jill Biden brags that Joe Biden could have had Hillary's job, one can only imagine Hillary fuming over that one….
