Some New York Democrats are still angry that Caroline Kennedy, along with her uncle, Senator Ted Kennedy, endorsed and campaigned for Obama (over Clinton, who is leaving the Senate to become Obama’s Secretary of State). Hillary’s supporters oppose Caroline Kennedy as her replacement. Like the Ming dynasty in China, the Kennedys symbolize the American dynasty.

Even though Caroline Kennedy is a very capable candidate for the job of senator, she shouldn’t be picked based on only her family name. It is wrong for Hillary’s supporters to seize this opportunity to make her pay for endorsing Obama. Carolina Kennedy represents the new and fresh kind of leader that America needs.

Governor Paterson will certainly pick someone who will serve and represent the State of New York. As the Berber of Morocco say, “The barking of the dogs will not disturb the clouds.”
