Letters to the Editor

Caroline Kennedy? Thanks, but no thanks New York's governor has better options and he should take one of them. Mark Schone [2008-12-15]

• The concept of Kennedy royalty must be put out to pasture.

  People compare this to Hillary's run. Well, I agree. And Hillary Clinton, who had never lived in New York, and had little experience in politics, shouldn't have been eligable, either. In fact, she didn't do interviews or put herself on the line. She acted as if it was owed to her, and it wasn't.

  There's one big difference.

  She was elected by the people.

  If Caroline Kennedy wants to run in a general election and wins, she clearly has every right to the office. The people have the right to elect her if they want her.

  But for the governor to appoint her above people with more experience and more know-how, because Kennedy's always get what they ask for, is digusting.

  So if the people of New York want this woman to represent them, they can do so in the next general election. Until then, she should not be granted such a large political favor.
