Because wouldn't it be cool to have three states in a row with Senator Kennedys? No?
Also, John Henning? You declared yesterday on 'BZ that if Caroline the K did get the New York Senate seat, she'd be a shoo-in to win the next election for the seat because no Kennedy has ever lost a general election. Um, hello?

Doesnt RI have a Kennedy,

Doesnt RI have a Kennedy, that would make it RI, MA, NY three states in a curve I guess.
I dont think the seat should be handed to her. THere must be dozens of qualified politicians in NY that would be great in the seat and who are not where they are now because of their famous relatives. Let her run in the next election if she really wants it. Say what we might about Hillary Clinton grabbing the NY seat, which I was opposed to at the time as well, but at least she ran for it and won, heck she even planned on running against a fairly strong republican until he dropped out and she ended up running against that Lazio character.
Honestly I think Id be more for her being given the seat if the Democrats were behind and we needed more fire power to get things done (the Kennedy name surely would have some sort of rallying effect) but the Democrats are in control of everything now, we dont need another Kennedy name out there, we need to continue that mantra of change that Obama started and is supposedly going to keep pushing (it should be noted I was not an early adopter of Obama, but if he wants change another Senator Kennedy is not the answer.)
