Caroline Kennedy Withdraws

Reports are circulating that Caroline Kennedy has withdrawn her request for Paterson to consider her for Clinton's Senate seat. This may well be because of Ted Kennedy's health problems. I am not a fan of Caroline Kennedy for Senate, but this is not the reason I would have wanted for her withdrawal. And I have to admit the realization that if Ted Kennedy becomes to sick to serve, it will be the first time in my life without a Kennedy in the Senate.

Best of luck to the Kennedy family and I am hoping this doesn't mean Cuomo will be our next Senator. There are better people out there.

[Update MB]: Kennedy has apparently released a statement denying this story.

[Update DM]: Apparently she HAS withdrawn despite rumors to the contrary. From MSNBC:

"I informed Governor Paterson today that for personal reasons I am withdrawing my name from consideration for the United States Senate," she said in a one-sentence statement released after midnight. Her spokesman, Stefan Friedman, wouldn't comment further.

For once, the NY Post got it right.

I heard a few minutes ago that she DID NOT request that her name be removed, it was a misunderstanding.

Thought that as well, but then saw a NY Times bit on it...and dKos. May all come down to one source, though, and that could be unreliable.

Fred Dicker got the scoop after all

The next question is, who gets the spot. I just saw Carolyn Maloney on MSNBC; she is campaigning hard.
