Kennedy Likely To Get Senatorship, Says The AP

Get ready for the second coming of Camelot!

Two sources close to NY governor David Paterson tell the Associated Press that the gov will appoint former first daughter Caroline Kennedy to Hillary Clinton’s soon-to-be-vacated U.S. Senate seat.

However, publicly, Paterson says the search ‘continues’.

The gov has also made it clear that the next junior Senator from New York will have to win re-election on his or her own.

The Senate appointee is being viewed as a ‘place holder’ and will face an election in two years time.

Paterson said he won’t make an appointment announcement until Hillary’s Secretary of State appointment has been confirmed.
