I would be very surprised if Caroline ‘disappears’ back into her life after this election. However, I think her role will be more as an advisor or ambassador of some kind. The whole VP thing feels to me as though it is just being drummed up by the media for something to talk about.

personally, i think she should stay as far away from ‘politics’ as is possible…doesnt anyone anymore remember the grief that ‘politics’ has brought the kennedy family…besides, other than the name, she really isnt qualified..

Caroline Kennedy has lost her father, her mother and her brother..while there are still plenty of Kennedy clan to rally round as extended family, she may be wanting to have a life other than political. I think this country has asked plenty of that branch of the Kennedy family and that we ought not expect the only surviving member to step into a job she doesn’t want. If she has political ambitions, she can make the move to activate that. Anyone wanting to be President of the US has to be signing up for the toughest job in the world. If a woman already has a life she loves and is happy, why would she even want to take on a thankless job like being President?? I just would hate to see Caroline chewed up in that maw of political life..I always liked Diane Feinstein but she is looking very weary and a lot older these days..

When she vocally supported Senator Obama over Senator Clinton, she entered politics.

As others have commented, Caroline Kennedy is far too private a person to ever actively run for a political office. However…..I do believe WHEN barrack Obama takes office as our next president he will appoint her to a cabinet position of some sort. I find the Kennedy family to be incredibly interesting and complex. They struggle with the same issues as the Jones, Johnson and McAfees…..the only thing that separates them from the mainstream of Americans are their bank accounts!
