Should Caroline Kennedy take Hillary's Senate seat?

We really don’t know Caroline Kennedy well enough to accurately predict how she might perform in the Senate, but we do know that her education has included a more extensive exposure to politics than that of most existing Senators. It’s obvious that she is intellectually curious. She’s a woman. She has integrity. I like it.

Until vacated Senate positions are replaced by voters - not Governors - our opinions don’t matter in the slightest.

NY would be very lucky to get a senator that is honest, intelligent, has name recognition the world over, has many political contacts, comes from a family that is experienced in politics, has done a lot of work to help NY already & is not taking the seat to grandstand but to serve—plus people love & trust her, & yea, she ain’t bad lookin. Every time she opens her mouth, people listen. How could you possibly get ANYONE better or more deserving than Caroline Kennedy?! Are you all nuts?!! Hillary & her people don’t want Caroline because she’s be a threat against Hillary in the next presidential race if she does a good job as senator. In 4 or 8 yrs.

And yet, no one bats an eye when a spouse is appointed to the seat her husband vacates… I would trust Caroline Kennedy’s political forbearance and instincts (from a family that bleeds public service) than I would another senator’s spouse… ANY other senator’s spouse (except for Hillary Clinton’s spouse).

I have to ask why she wants to be a senator now - after endorsing a person who was running against the woman whose position she wants. Hmmmm?

Why is this questionable? I am not seeing the connection.
