Confusion over Caroline Kennedy's position regarding the vacant Senate seat from New York has apparently (!!) ended. . . we think. Kennedy released a statement saying that she was withdrawing her name from consideration. NY Governor Paterson will be making his selection soon, and a lot of the betting is on Andrew Cuomo, son of former Governor Mario Cuomo, and a bit of a self-centered dick from what we hear.
We're rooting for upstate New York Congresswoman Kirsten Gillibrand, who has excellent credentials and balances the New York City-centered Sen. Chuck Schumer.
