Problems involving taxes and a household employee surfaced during the vetting of Caroline Kennedy and derailed her candidacy for the Senate, a person close to Gov. David A. Paterson said on Thursday, in an account at odds with Ms. Kennedy?s own description of her reasons for withdrawing.
The account emerged 14 hours after Ms. Kennedy announced that she was taking her name out of contention for the Senate seat vacated by Hillary Rodham Clinton, and as Mr. Paterson appeared to be leaning toward selecting Representative Kirsten E. Gillibrand, an upstate lawmaker in her second term in Congress.
Hard feelings toward Ms. Kennedy were clearly building among the governor?s staff on Thursday, after a dramatic evening in which she was reported to be dropping out, then wavering, then ultimately, shortly after midnight on Thursday, issuing a statement ending her candidacy.
The person close to the governor said Mr. Paterson ?never had any intention of picking Kennedy? because he had come to consider her unready for the job.

Bloomberg was elected mayor.
Patterson wasn't elected governor, but I thought that Lt. Governor was an elected office.
and whoever gets picked to replace Hillary is going to have to run on their own in 2 years.

Are there any republicans who aren't engaging in illegal behavior may be the better question, but its still the assertions of trolls, and games I do not wish to play.
Be it resolved, both democrats and republicans are less than perfect human beings,
our mostly Christian faith asserts Jesus Christ died to save us from sins, and most members of the republican and democratic party are not really horribly corrupt.
But for this thread purposes, Caroline Kennedy critics have won, not because Caroline is corrupt, but because she was not ready yet or up to speed on issues.
End of story, nothing more to see anymore, but bottom line, Gov Patterson will just appoint some other democrat.
Tell me again how the GOP won anything here? But cheer up, they lost nothing either.
The GOP only loses anything if they continue to beat a dead horse or Elephants.

How much is she willing to pay for the seat? That seems to be about all the democrat criminals in congress are interested in these days.
Idiot, one Democratic Governor was a criminal trying to sell the seat. The Democrats in Congress are supporting his arrest and refusing to seat his nominee.
LOL So much for that priciple. Craig, would you like to rescind your "idiot" comment now that it only applies to you?
