She would do everyone a favor (if she truly is unequipped) and remove her name from consideration. FYI: The link to the Palin interview works but then says Private. No matter, I have no business watching it again and again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329279.post-48476229220256076882009-01-04T14:34:00.000-07:002009-01-04T14:34:00.000-07:00I see this sentiment often on this topic, "It's no...I see this sentiment often on this topic, "It's none of my business what NY does. If you don't live in NY, you don't have a right to an opinion."<BR/><BR/>As a yellow dog Democrat, I disagree. If Kennedy is appointed to the seat, the question for me is, "can she retain it?" She must run in 2010 and again in 2012 to keep the seat. Her lame interviews suggest that she is not ready to compete in the political arena. She is inarticulate. She seems to have little knowledge of policy issues. She is evasive. She becomes irritated and defensive if asked inconvenient questions. It is no coincidence that she has shunned the limelight for most of her 51 years. <BR/><BR/>Another Democrat is unlikely to be willing to run against her in the primary in 2010. Heck, most Democrats don't even seem to be willing to comment negatively on her quest for the Senate seat. If the Republicans field a strong candidate in 2010, will Kennedy be able to keep the seat?<BR/><BR/>These questions make the GIFT of a Senate seat to Kennedy my business as well as every Democrat's in the country who would like the Democratic administration to succeed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329279.post-17726614793659447722009-01-04T13:19:00.000-07:002009-01-04T13:19:00.000-07:00Please clarify which Palin link doesn't work: one ...Please clarify which Palin link doesn't work: one of the hyperlinks, or the conceptual link?

The other page on Caroline makes reference to a recent Gore Vidal interview. He gave a couple nasty pokes at Republicans but mostly he's off his game. www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSQKLqtEn_U&feature=relatedAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
