The Kennedy name still has a strong influence in American politics. And lets not forget that he divorced a Kennedy.<BR/><BR/>I suspect that only the Clintons and the Cuomos think Andrew would be a better choice. <BR/><BR/>If Paterson does pick Kennedy, he satisfies party loyalty and picking a woman. If he doesn't pick her, perhaps she'll decide to run for Governor?<BR/><BR/>In a few weeks, it will be "Welcome to Washington, Senator Kennedy" (also seems she's dropped the Schlossberg from her name)Random Thinkerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15158771664635380371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16333114.post-3115470195082203592008-12-15T23:20:00.000-05:002008-12-15T23:20:00.000-05:00not after Blagojevichmrjoophttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15079297762601125535noreply@blogger.com
