Hello Gov. I'm applying for the Sentate Seat

Even before the State of Illinois realized they still had problem with the Chicago political mentality we here in New York were witnessing our Governor grapple with the Sentate vacancy of our Jr. Senator.

Many names have been bandied about and then we heard that the famous and infamous were calling the Governor directly to ask for consideration. What ever happened to posting the job listing and forwarding a resume?? Not once you get into this level of government apparantly.

Caroline Kennedy who I don't beleive has ever practiced law but has been active in writing books and fundraising expressed an interest in her Uncle's old seat. I'm not quite sure if she has ever held a real job but I cannot take away from her the philithropic good deeds she has done with the family money and name. We are told she called the Gov. directly to express her interestin the senate seat. Now of course the average New Yorker doesn't have the Govornor's cell number but I bet Caroline does. Now we hear "The Nanny" is also interested in running. What are her qualifications again?? Oh yeah, having an incredibly annoying voice will certainly play well in Washington. They may vote with her just to shut her up!

Finally, a real contender has thrown his hat into the ring announcing that although he is not of the same party as the Governor and doesn't expect an appointment, he has advised that he will run for the seat when the election comes around. Bravo Peter King!! Yes I must admit having a woman replace Hillary would be nice, but I prefer to have someone qualified and not someone just looking for a career change. Congressman Peter King knows Washington politics, works hard for Long Island and is not dabbling. Our state needs to be lead by proven leaders not by rich socialites or starlets tired of afternoon tea and tennis outings.
