Withdrawal

Hilary Clinton resigned from the Senate immediately after being sworn in as secretary of state. Caroline Kennedy was planning (and wishing) to take her seat in the Senate. Many disapproved of this and said she wasn't committed and other things like that while others toke note of her brains and compassion and say she would make a solid choice as a senator. Kennedy, age 51, the daughter of President John F. Kennedy and a resident of the Upper East Side of Manhattan, has never served in public office.
Anyway, she has withdrawn from consideration for the vacant Senate seat in New York. A person she told of her decision said that Kennedy’s concerns about the health of her uncle, Senator Edward M. Kennedy, who suffers from brain cancer and was hospitalized after suffering a seizure Tuesday, prompted her to withdraw. Kennedy believed that the seat was hers if she had wanted it, though no one has confirmed her assumption.
After hearing this there were many different reactions, some being, "Thank goodness!" and others being, "too bad!". "I would have loved to see her in office. She would have made a difference. I hope she will consider running in the future." "I wonder why she REALLY backed out." "For Caroline Kennedy to withdraw is a crying shame. Given her academic, political education and gracious, sincere manner, I am certain her Uncle Ted would prefer her seek the appointment and prove her worth for a landside victory on her own merits in the near future election."
