the requirements for New York senatorial residency have always been light. Robert Kennedy did the same thing. i'm sure others have also. if it bothered the residents of New York, the voters would have changed the law long ago. Clinton apparently did well for the state in her time there. if NY voters don't mind, why should anyone else.

Very good point.

i really don't think so. Giuliani is only taken serious by those outside of new york.
looks like he'll still take your money though - https://www.joinrudy2008.com/contribute/

The Tafts were a figment of some Ohio Democrats imagination.
Does this mean the Red Sox will have to mute Sweet Caroline when the hated Yankees come to town?

I think it is funny that there are objections to her "lack of experience" in light of the fact that Obama could get elected on his thin resume .....
At least she lives in New York.

LOL, Deco. Only Republicans need credentials. Dems just need connections, money and a Haravard degree.

What are the credentials to become a US Senator, should we ask Larry Craig?

Well no one really thinks that the Kennedy's are finished with politics. Caroline would fill in where TEddy leaves off. Likely that some more cousins will get involved.
Dems will get another Kennedy in line for the higher offices, as it is a sure way to garnish the Camelot crowd that cannot get enough. They have proven they can swing an election.

What's with the Kennedy hate? Before the current Bush poisoned things the Bush family wasn't a political dynasty?

I don't see "hate" anywhere in my post. I did not say that Kennedy's were good or bad.
Just that they are a fact in politics.
