America Owes Caroline Kennedy



You may disagree with me on this- but I think this country OWES Caroline that New York Senate seat Hillary Clinton is vacating.

If nothing else- because Caroline lost her father who was serving his country- again mind you.
If Caroline wants to serve the citizens of New York in this manner- I say more power to her and the seat SHOULD be offered to John F. Kennedy's lone surviving child.
