Caroline Kennedy? Thanks, but no thanks

New York's governor has better options and he should take one of them.

    Give the kid a shot at it

    The Kennedys have always been about public service. They don't need to take bribes or kickbacks because they've got all that old money that Joe Kennedy made in his bootlegging days.

    As for the experience thingy, forget it. We elect many of our senators and governors because they have name recognition. Hillary Clinton, Arnold Schwartzenegger and George W. Bush are three examples of people who became candidates because they had name recognition.

    Give the kid a shot. What've we got to lose? It's only the Senate. You can't screw that up too badly and she may turn out to be a really good one.
