Expanding the Best Picture Oscar field to 10 entrants may water down the field. But some competitions feature a plethora of worthwhile candidates. Take trying to pick the Best New York State Democrat. The academy that’s in charge of issuing the Democraties ™ would have to permit a similarly...

Not to pile on, but I’m with Matt. Critics should offer a deal to Chuck Schumer: we’ll stop harping on the nasty things he says as soon as he stops saying nasty things. Fresh off news regarding his catty betrayal of Hillary Clinton, he’s now aiming his crude phrasings at voters who...

It’s an ominous moment for one’s career when the President of the United States tells you to quit your job. Granted, it’s the same president who spends his free time micromanaging banks and car companies, but David Paterson can’t feel comfortable about an anti-endorsement that submarines his...

Politics didn’t change Kirsten Gillibrand, but a new job did. She became a company woman once since she was assigned to stand for in the Senate; that’s different that how she acted while representing only New York’s 20th Congressional District in the House. Unfortunately for her, she may have just...

Michael Goodwin at the New York Daily News reports that Kirsten Gillibrand, the conservative Democrat appointed by Governor Paterson to fill Hillary Clinton’s vacant Senate seat, is learning that diversity is not a virtue of her party, as she is flushing her moderate and conservative views down...

I really, really, really hope this is true… if she was picked, it would have insulted all of us… Caroline Kennedy tonight withdrew her name from consideration to replace Hillary Clinton in the U.S. Senate after learning that Gov. David Paterson wasn’t going to choose her, The Post has...

In what could be described as a bipartisan vote of no confidence in Governor Paterson, Republicans and Democrats are pushing for a special election to fill the Senate seat that will be vacated by Hillary Clinton when she leaves to serve as Barack Hussein Obama’s secretary of state. Such a move...

Could be, according to Robert Freeman, the executive director of the state Committee on Open Government. Gov. David Paterson’s secretive process to select Hillary Rodham Clinton’s successor in the U.S. Senate conflicts with his campaign promises to open up government, and New York’s...

I really hope this isn’t true… New York Governor David Paterson says the search is ongoing, but two people close to him tell The Associated Press they believe Caroline Kennedy will be appointed to replace Hillary Clinton in the Senate. Following continuing criticism of Kennedy, Paterson on...

Caroline Kennedy Fumbles...

As if Caroline Kennedy’s sense of entitlement wasn’t already apparent, now she says that if she isn’t handed the seat on a silver platter she doesn’t want it at all. Made a little more news on NY1 tonight, telling host Dominic Carter that she finally spoke to Hillary Clinton...

Amen! Right idea, wrong argument. The problem with Caroline Kennedy’s presumption to Hillary Clinton’s soon-to-be-vacated Senate seat is not lack of qualification or experience. The Senate houses lots of inexperienced rookies — wealthy businessmen, sports stars, even the occasional...

Sweet Caroline Sours In Upstate...

Looks like princess Caroline wasn’t given the royal treatment during her upstate pandering yesterday. Caroline Kennedy took a page from Hillary Clinton’s playbook and began an upstate listening tour On Wednesday. The road trip included stops in Syracuse, Rochester and Buffalo to help convince...

While I think an endorsement of anyone is premature at this point, I am pleased they didn’t jump on the Caroline Kennedy train. The Western New York heart may say Brian Higgins. But the head says Andrew M. Cuomo. It will be more than a month before Gov. David A. Paterson announces his choice...

It is getting clearer… President-elect Barack Obama wants to keep an outstanding commitment before Hillary Rodham Clinton becomes his secretary of state by calling on his donors to help her reduce her massive campaign debt before federal ethics rules prohibit her from doing so. The urgency is rooted...

Caroline Kennedy is reportedly interested in Hillary Clinton’s Senate seat. Caroline Kennedy — daughter of a slain president, niece of senators, and zealous guardian of her own privacy — is interested in the Senate seat once held by her uncle, her cousin says. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he...

Hillary Gets The Nod...

Comrade Obama has named more people to serve in his regime. As widely expected, he tapped Hillary Clinton to be his Secretary of State. I have been skeptical that this was actually going to happen. I don’t see it as a wise move for Hillary if she still has presidential ambitions. So, now speculation...
