Caroline Kennedy

Carolina Kennedy for Senate from the great state of New York (from where my wife hails). I guess it would be interesting to have a poll of the New York citizens to see if they would like this, since there won't be a vote until 2010. I've been ambivalent about this possibility, but I agree with this column by Ruth Marcus in the Washington Post today.

And when you think about some of the scoundrels in politics today, like Senator Ted Stevens of Alaska and the great Senator from Idaho, Larry Craig, arrested for soliciting gay sex in an airport bathroom, at least Caroline Kennedy would seem to have the national interest at heart at all times, as well as conduct herself with dignity. It would also be great to have at least a couple of Senators who don't get bogged down in local politics and pro quid quos to raise money for their campaigns, but think about the larger issues. She definitely has class.

My heart says yes too!
