But of course. What other qualification could you possibly need for the U.S. Senate besides being the daughter of a former president?

Officials say the daughter of the late President John F. Kennedy will be the governor’s choice to fill the New York Senate seat being vacated by Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Two people close to Gov. David Paterson tell The Associated Press they believe Caroline Kennedy will be his choice, but the governor cautions he’s still looking.

With even the New York liberal media having greatly turned on her, it should be an interesting few years. As Allahpundit points out, however:

God only knows what sort of arm-twisting’s going on to make this happen despite her awful rollout, but I’m darkly impressed by the fact that they got the speaker of the state assembly to flip from sneeringly anti-Caroline to pro-Caroline in less than a week. Camelot truly is a magical place.

Indeed. Although, next to Roland Burris and Al Franken, she’s looking pretty good.
