We asked our wOw intuitive, Peggy Rometo, what she thought would happen to Caroline Kennedy’s bid for New York senator. Here’s what she said.

WOWOWOW: Gov. Paterson will be making a choice any day now on who will take up Hillary Clinton’s Senate seat. Caroline Kennedy has made a pitch for it and so far has created controversy. How is Caroline feeling about the reactions?

PEGGY ROMETO: I feel Caroline may be exhibiting a little bit of nervousness to people around her. And she definitely feels as if her anxiety since making this public bid for the Senate has gotten more intense. I feel she wants something concrete for herself. It needs to be somewhere she can plant herself  and that she could make a difference. I think she would enjoy being a role model for her children and she really wants something more of substance — something she can sink her teeth into, instead of sort of floating. She’s done a lot of floating through the years – in part that was because of her children and needing to have a lot more flexibility. Now that they are older, she has a desire to go a little bit deeper for herself.   

I’m also picking up a lot of confusion about whether or not she even wants this, because of the public’s opinion. She may be feeling anger because of  the judgment or the public’s opinion, and most likely feels they are off-base. I think she is a much more complicated and savvy woman than she gets credit for. It’s almost like she has two very strong opposing views. On one hand I feel she may have some regret here. Either about the way she broached this bid or doing it at all. She may even be thinking, “Why did I ever throw my hat in the ring?” She has seen her share of family members persecuted in the press. But there’s the whole, “We’re Kennedy’s. Of course we can toughen up” kind of thing. But that doesn’t mean that she wants to be in that energy every single day. So I almost feel like she’s looking for a way to save face by most respectfully declining, and I feel the only way that could be done is by having something that’s equivalent or better or more suited offered to her. It could be through the Obama administration, something like an ambassadorship. Something where she’s not so much in the public eye on a daily basis.

I feel like the family is trying to protect her, shield her from the direct spotlight of the public eye. The family is arguing and she’s responding, “No, this is where I live and this would be more convenient and a worthwhile position. So I feel like she is back and forth. It’s no small thing to fill Hillary Clinton’s shoes. Then there is the whole other side of her that is anxious, just as anyone might be: “Can I really do it? Am I going to constantly be compared to Hillary? She’s tough as nails and brilliant and smart … I have my own set of contributions, but it’s different than hers.” I don’t really feel she lacks political savvy. Her way is just a different way in which she approaches things, compared to Hillary.
