Caroline Kennedy, for sure!

Hope it is Caroline Kennedy, now that would be a great candidate for President in 2016!

Replace the Hill? Just get some homeless drunk guy off the street. That would actually be an improvment.

Eliot Spitzer! He's available, right?

Replacing Hillary

Rock,Janesville,Wisconsin — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 19:42:56 GMT

At this point it is a huge political guessing game. There are going to be a lot of individuals competing for her Senate seat. That is for sure!

Several names have been floated, . . . . Jerrold Nadler.

===================

I thought the Senate had a weight limit of 290 pounds.

The best way to replace Senators would be to let voters decide

Too bad that's not how it works in most states

We have that same problem when a San Francisco Supervisor leaves office early....
Rather than let the people decide, the Mayor appoints someone

At least it looks like New York has a lot of qualified people

NOBODY could "replace" Hillary Clinton. Not only is she smarter than anyone else, nobody else has her stature.

She won re-election in 2006 with 69% of the vote - could anyone top that?

Patterson should pick the best person to represent the people of New York. He should not feel beholden to automatically pick a woman. There are several qualified women out there and they should all receive equal consideration for the position.

Replacing Hillary

S.B. Stein E.B. NJ — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 20:20:54 GMT

I guess it is too late to ask Hillary Clinton to stay in the Senate? Is there any thought to Paterson taking the seat himself? Somehow I doubt that will happen.

Jackson, Seattle — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 20:25:07 GMT

I wondered why Caroline Kennedy did not get the UN Ambassador position. Perhaps she is being considered as Junior Senator from NY? That would be a very cool call.

Let the New Yorkers decide. They are the ones who will be affected by this decision.

Replacing Hillary

Jim, Utica — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 20:37:42 GMT

Upstate Senator for sure. And by "upstate" I am not talking about just North of the city, I am talking about somebody from the Binghamton, Buffalo, Syracuse area. Upstate New Yorkers are the biggest minority in the state.

Replace a Clinton with a Clinton. Slick Billy in the Senate!

Replacing Hillary

Roger — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 20:43:52 GMT

How about Chelsea? She presented herself well campaigning for her mother. She had a "pitbull" attitude too. If that will not work, send Bill.

Go for Sarah Palin, she could take up residency like Clinton did, and she would accually represent some of the residents of NY, unlike Hillary, who only rep's her own position in life!

Replacing Hillary

Dee, Ithica, NY — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 21:05:58 GMT

Go with Sarah Palin, she can set up residency just like Clinton did, move in and go to work. She would actually represent NY'ers for once, and not just her own aspirations, which is all Hillary did!

Replacing Hillary

Kate, Saratoga Springs, New York — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 21:13:26 GMT

I like Kirsten Gillibrand. She is a fighter for the people and I believe that she feels the same way on issues as Hillary Clinton. Of course, no one could replace Hillary. She is one in a million!

RUDY ... RUDY ... RUDY. !!! — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 21:19:52 GMT

RUDY ... RUDY ... RUDY.

HE MAY AS WELL APPOINT RUDY BECAUSE RUDY WILL BEAT WHO EVER HOLDS THE SEAT IN THE NEXT ELECTION.

IntheMiddle, TX — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 21:25:47 GMT

I hate this stupid appointment stuff. I think the voters should decide.

Replacing Hillary

Oliver, North Vancouver, Canada — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 21:31:22 GMT

The biggest challenge is the financial one, if the "pick" wants to stay in the Senate. I believe that they will have to campaign in 2010 and again in 2012. The amount of money involved will be indecent.

Replacing Hillary

Matt, Columbia SC — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 21:56:40 GMT

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is a New York resident I think....

Replacing Hillary

NANCY NYC — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 22:11:31 GMT

CAROLINE KENNEDY FOR JUNIOR SENATOR FROM NEW YORK!!!!!!

CLINTON WAS A MEDIOCRE SENATOR. GLAD TO GET RID OF HER !!!!!!

Replacing Hillary

Paul, Syracuse, NY — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 22:13:22 GMT

Caroline Schlossberg???!!! Give me a break!!! When will the ill-placed mythology of the Kennedy name finally give way to reality???!!!

Let her just go back to writing children's books that only the Kennedy's buy. This is just a joke - a travesty - another media build up for somebody with no substance.

We just got that with the President-elect and as a resident of NY State, I'd rather have someone with EXPERIENCE than some lame last name.

New York Senator? Jesus that's a REAL job!

Replacing Hillary

Diana Owens, Tacoma, Washington — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 22:34:07 GMT

How about replacing Senator Clinton with a male or female person of color... African, Native, Asian, or Hispanic?
