I urge Gov Paterson to appoint Charles Rangel.

The man''s paid his dues.

Only a jerk would refer to her as wanting a handout.

If she''s not asking for a handout, what''s she looking for?

I''m no fan of Palin but she ran for office and won.

Let Caroline run a real campaign in a real race, not this pseudo-campaign, or what they call in Illinois, calling in the favors.

Palin ran for beauty queen and lost. Palin took 6 stints in college to get one BA degree, and doesn''t have the political instincts to even stop talking when a camera is pointed at her. Palin got to where she is on her looks.

Caroline is no publicity hound, has decades of behind the scenes, legitimate accomplishments and the smarts to be an excellent senator. Only a jerk would refer to her as wanting a handout.

No difference between her and the Illinois debacle.

You can be sure even if no cash is exchanged, political favors are.

Blago was just too dumb to ask for cash.

So Caroline is the opposite of Sarah Palin, the excellent speech reader, but otherwise talentless, amoral politician.

Talentless, amoral, dumb even, but the difference is Palin ran for office and won.

She didn''t ask for a handout, an appointment.

If the demos go this way, they will implode just like the repubs.

Political office is not an entitlement!!

Stop this impending theft!!

She should just run for office somewhere.

No entitlement for the rich!

We''re not a banana republic!

Watch Caroline Kennedy''s "performance" at the podium at last summer''s Democratic National Convention. She''s a flat, listless speaker, lacks energy, and does not know how to work a crowd. And with all due respect, she does not have any experience to recommend her for the job. For those of us who mourned for her father, JFK, and campaigned for her Uncle Bobby, please Caroline, go back to your society teas. You haven''t earned a thing.

Caroline Kennedy would make a fine U.S. Senator. A dash of Camelot may be just what the U.S. needs.
