23. My point is that she could get appointed to that seat giving her
an overwhelming advantage of keeping that seat as long as she wants.

My contention is that if she wants the seat, she should run in 2010 when New York will be holding an election for the remainder of HRC's term.

Acting on appopintments like this just discourage people who view politics as a vocation. Why bother if you are going to basically be shut out of the process. She has money and the name to win hands down.

It just smells of elitism to me.

But hey, go ahead and believe what you want about appointing dynastic names. It usually works out so very well....
