Reply #103: Speaking of plane crashes, and JFK...

[zann725]

Has anyone ever questioned the "timing" of JFK, Jr.'s plane crash during the timeframe in which the vacant New York Senate seat was being sized-up by various contenders. (John's best friend later admitted in an interview that at the time of John's death, he was putting out "feelers" about various "open" political seats.) Since John was a long-time native New Yorker, he was a natural for the post. Literally days after his death, Hillary Clinton surprisingly stepped forward and said she'd be running. I remember thinking at the time how easily she "won" that position without a real contender (such as John would've been).

Has anyone looked into this? John was certainly a rising star in the Dem party. And with his political mag launched, clearly had sights on "running" in some capacity in the very near future.
