the new york times is reporting that caroline kennedy has withdrawn her name for consideration to replace the vacant senate seat left by now secretary of state, hillary clinton.On Wednesday [Kennedy] called Gov. David A. Paterson, who will choose a successor to Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton. Her concerns about Senator Edward M. Kennedy’s deteriorating health (he was hospitalized after suffering a seizure during President Obama’s inaugural lunch on Tuesday ) prompted her decision to withdraw, this person said. Coping with her uncle’s condition was her most important priority, a situation not conducive to starting a high profile public job.i assume this means the seat is almost assuredly AG andrew cuomo's to accept.
stay tuned.....
e.
p.s. did i mention hillary is secretary of state!?!?
she was confirmed today by the full senate in a vote of 94-2. senators vitter (R-louisiana) and demint (R-south carolina) were the only "nay" votes.
