i don't know enough to judge her qualifications, i doubt that i would know enough to judge any of the other characters vying for the position either....and whoever is ''chosen'' for the position, IS CHOSEN by an insider...so, i suppose it doesn't much matter, in this case....for me.
but yes, nepotism is the name of the game....or the just plain, ''who you KNOW, is what counts''!
the difference being, one was elected, and one is being appointedWhy? You don't need experience to be President.
thus the point that the person it be "given to" should have some experience to do the job
true, we, as residents of the peoples republic of Maine would have no say in the matters in NY Stateyes, i can see that point! and a well made one!
whoever is picked by the governor, is a reflection of the governor! that fiduciary responsibility to the citizens of his state, should not be taken lightly!
but what if caroline were the best candidate? what if all candidates vying for the appointment did not stand out as anything exceptional when interviewing with the governor.... but she did stand out.....even without po;itical hands on experience?
i honestly know nothing of her capabilities, or her drive to get things accomplished, and know nothing about the others vying for the position.
all i am saying is, that i would not rule her out, without a handful of interviews with her if i were choosing the replacement, unless i had another candidate in mind that i knew without doubt, would supersede anyone else....and the ny lt governor/governor may already have a person like that in mind....?
it really is at the governor's discretion and i don't have a say, as a non citizen of the state, nor would i if a citizen of ny state except i would have a say on who my next governor would be!
the difference being, one was elected, and one is being appointed
yes, but that doesnt make it rightit's the way the law was written. If the governor chooses her, he has the right, regardless of what experience she has, just like the US voters can choose Obama, regardless of the experience he has.
yes, but that doesnt make it right
did Caroline Kennedy go to college?
good question
[link to wikipedia that, apparently, I'm not senior enough to post]
ah, they put her education under personal lifeElvis: Yes, Radcliffe A.B. (same as B.A., just a different Latin name) and then Columbia for her J.D.
DiveCon: That's the section about her work on education in New York, not her personal education.
interesting that they didnt list that as her education in a seperate listing, they usually doShe received her A.B. from Radcliffe College[4] at Harvard University in 1979 and her J.D. from Columbia Law School in 1988, after attending the Brearley School and Convent of the Sacred Heart in Manhattan, and Concord Academy in Massachusetts.

Wow. She didn't go, did she? I would have expected Ivy League. JFK Jr went to Brown.
