Caroline Kennedy

Caroline Kennedy called the Governor of New York Thursday evening to talk about the Senate seat that Hillary Clinton will soon be leaving. I sense Uncle Teddy's guiding hand here. This seat was once held by Caroline's Uncle Bobby and Bobby, Jr. has said that he doesn't want the job. With only a two-year hiatus, there has been at least one Kennedy in the Senate since Caroline's father entered in 1953. We're talking 56 years here, and Teddy's health must have him thinking of the future and his family's legacy.

On the other hand, it has been said that in today's world those committed to the county's welfare are obliged to think tragically: to imagine the worst and then work to prevent it. Has the flame attracted her?
