I just did some Googling and posted it in another thread. The history of wives succeeding husbands and sons/daughters succeeding fathers is virtually an American political tradition. I think it only gets major media attention when someone moves to a state to run for office.

I thought Hillary's move was to New York tacky. If she had run from her home state of Illinois or from Arkansas, I would have been okay with it. I would have been equally pissed if Alan Keyes had won Illinois after moving there from Maryland.

It turns out that Caroline Kennedy was born in New York City, raised in New York City and currently lives in New York City. She has a law degree and has passed the Bar in New York State. Based on her strong New York connection, I think she deserves at shot at the Senate, as would anyone else in New York State that had the approval of the people.

I think it's "nice" that she's a Kennedy, but I think it's even nicer that she's a real New Yorker.

I won't ask personal questions like Jets vs. Giants... Mets vs. Yankees.
