    Wait until 2010...

    If she runs for and wins the seat, more power to her. That's why I respect Hillary: people said she was just riding her husband's coattails, but we New Yorkers know just how hard she worked to win her first Senate campaign. But an appointment based purely on a celebrity name ... that just smacks too much of back room dealing. Especially after what's happened in Illinois, Gov. Patterson really needs to make an appointment on the merits, and that doesn't point to someone as inexperienced as Caroline Kennedy.
