Yeah, dynasties suck, but I care way more about the votes that are being made, and assuming Caroline's views are pretty much in line with her uncle's, I want that block of votes in the Senate.<BR/><BR/>And remember who she is replacing here. I mean the argument against Kennedy is basically that a high profile lawyer who has never served in office and whose only relation to politics is familial should not be appointed to replace someone who was elected having never served in office and whose only relation to politics is familial. OK, appointment vs. election, but I think that is balanced out by Caroline not being a carpetbagger.<BR/><BR/>Now, I don't really care about Hillary being a carpetbagger, because apparently New York didn't, either. States can vote for who they want. And it sounds like Caroline would win reelection easily, and if that's the case, I don't see putting off the selection for some symbolic signal of legitimacy.<BR/><BR/>'mathroto'corvushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16130864309857352151noreply@blogger.com
