New information out just now explaining why Caroline Kennedy isn't Sen. Caroline Kennedy today.
Ticket readers will recall that back in January when Hillary Clinton's New York Senate seat became vacant with her becoming secretary of State, the daughter of assassinated president John F. Kennedy expressed an interest in receiving the seat appointment from the state's governor David Paterson.
This would have continued an historic family position in the Senate. Caroline's father held the seat from Massachusetts, as does her fatally-ailing uncle, Edward, now. Another uncle, Robert, once held the New York Senate seat after serving as his brother's attorney general.
