It has been stated that Caroline Kennedy is acting as if the nomination was meant to be. I think that Kennedy expects the deal to be honored. However, Chicago Politics has raised its head in a horrifying way as it relates to Caroline Kennedy. Caroline expected Obama’s people to come out firing on her behalf, which I assume was part of the deal. What she could not have been ready for was our own Governor of Illinois getting caught trying to sell Obama’s Senate Seat. Now with the Federal investigators circling around the Obama team, they will not come out and pressure people to support Kennedy (or anyone for that matter). They have left Caroline Kennedy (a political rookie with a tremendous heritage, but still a rookie) to go through this experience alone with limited support of the President-Elect, the person critical to her having this nomination almost handed to her. The first crack in the Chicago Political National Machine (the Illinois Governor being caught doing what every other Governor for years has done – marketing a Senator nomination) has put Caroline Kennedy in the public’s cross hairs. If the nomination fails, you can expect her to be named shortly to the Ambassadorship to the country of her choice (minus Africa – Oprah has the say on that one).
This is only the beginning. Wake Up America – Welcome to Chicago Politics… They have now gone national.
