NY Daily: More Women For Maloney [vs CK]

As the less-than-positive reviews mount in response to Caroline Kennedy's weekend media blitz, another contender for Hillary Clinton's US Senate seat, Rep. Carolyn Maloney, has netted the support of a third women's group.

The National Women's Political Caucus announced today it sent a letter to Gov. David Paterson urging him to appoint Maloney to Clinton's seat [....]

This is the third women's group to throw its support to Maloney since the game of jockeying for Clinton's seat began. Earlier this month, the National Organization for Women's PAC and the Feminist Majority PAC endorsed the congresswoman's non-campaign for Senate.

UK Times: Caroline Kennedy botches debut interview [ 2 other UK stories ]

Asked to justify her candidacy – after days spent with handlers advising her on how to fill Hillary Clinton's vacant New York Senate seat – she began in a dull monotone: "Um, this is a fairly unique moment both in our, you know, in our country's history, and, and in, in, you know, my own life, and um, you know, we are facing, you know, unbelievable challenges, our economy, you know, healthcare, people are losing their jobs here in New York obviously um, arh, you know. . .

LAT: Bristol Palin's baby makes Sarah Palin a grandma. And he's a Republican

[A] new USA Today - Gallup Poll found the 44-year-old Palin, a mother of five, is the nation's second most-admired woman, behind only Hillary Clinton and ahead of someone named Oprah Winfrey.  [....] Oh, photo rights have been won at auction by People, with experts estimating the price at $300,000, up sharply since Levi's mom was arrested on a recent drug charge.

• Bloomberg defends Caroline Kennedy

• • Caroline seeks Senate seat support from labor leaders
  • Bring on Caroline - I can beat her, says Pete King

If this is all it takes to merit a Senate seat, Gov. Paterson might as well host a reality television show in picking Hillary Clinton's successor. At the very least, this would bring in advertising revenue - and therefore much more than Caroline Kennedy has offered New Yorkers thus far.

USNews: Did McCain botch [ Palin's campaign ]?

[t]hose who think the senator and his staff are to blame are starting to speak out. And we're not talking about those who traveled with the Alaska governor who quickly took a shining to her and chafed when the McCain team botched her coming out on the campaign trail. Now I'm hearing from key Republicans on Capitol Hill and GOP pollsters who believe that the McCain campaign should have put her out to talk about energy and political independence—her two best issues—instead of making her the conservative attack dog.

Post-Standard: Caroline Kennedy meets with Syracuse mayor [transcript of refusing to talk to reporters]

[ Transcript of Caroline Kennedy to c. 20 reporters. ]

"I just wanted to say, as some of you may have
heard, I've told Gov. Paterson that I'd be honored to be considered
for the position of United States senator. I wanted to come upstate
and meet with Mayor Driscoll and others to tell them about my
experience and also to learn more about how Washington can help these
communities," Kennedy told reporters. "There's a lot of good people,
candidates, that the governor is considering. He's laid out a process.
I'm proud to be in that process."

"What do you say to New Yorkers who think you're not qualified?" a
newspaper reporter asked.

She ignored the question and started to leave.
"Are you ready for this, Ms. Kennedy? You're not going to answer
questions at all?" reporters yelled.

"Where are you heading next?" a television reporter asked.

"To the car," Kennedy said.

"What do you say to New Yorkers who think you're not ready or
qualified for this job?"

"Have you ever been to Syracuse before?"

"Hopefully I can come back and answer all your questions," Kennedy
said as reporters followed her outside.

"What do you think your greatest qualification is to be senator?" a
reporter persisted.

"You're seeking public office and you don't want to answer questions
from reporters, Ma'am? When can we expect you to answer questions?"
another reporter asked as Kennedy got into the passenger seat of a
black GMC Denali.

She closed the vehicle's door and it pulled away.

Paterson, speaking today about the Kennedy news, was decidedly

Clinton's Senate seat would be handed off to a New Yorker who didn't
support her national bid.

[CK's] case in a nutshell: she is the heir to the most famous

apologized. ]

"Somebody please tell Barack Obama and crew he won"

But Obama's newly named and possibly endangered, misbehaving chief
White House speechwriter, Jon Favreau, is turning out words for him
that still sound like campaign stuff.
