Been my guess all along.

I think that'd be awesome.
I cite irreconcilable differences.

Sources told CNN that, as of about 8 p.m. Wednesday, she had not yet informed New York Gov. David Paterson of her decision.


At around 2 pm MST today I saw on the news that Paterson had made his decision and would announce later this week. My guess is she found out she wasn't the nominee and stepped back to save face.
The dogma lives loudly within me.

Ms. Kennedy believed that the job was hers if she would accept it . . . . Her decision appeared to catch the governor off guard, throwing the Paterson administration into confusion and setting off conflicting news media reports. After frantic talks between the governor’s operation and Ms. Kennedy’s camp Wednesday evening, Ms. Kennedy appeared to waver on whether to withdraw, and was preparing a statement reasserting her interest in the job. But just after midnight, she decided to make clear she was taking her name out of consideration and released the statement saying so.

Ms. Kennedy did not elaborate, but a person who spoke to her suggested that her concerns about the health of her uncle, Senator Edward M. Kennedy, who suffers from brain cancer and was hospitalized after a seizure on Tuesday, contributed to her decision.


That sounds hollow. Beloved uncles age, get sick and die for all of us. That is not a reason to not serve in office.

Quite the opposite in this case, I would think. Seems to me it would give her motivation to enter politics.

There's a report that the problem was taxes and a household employee.

I heard her grandfather was a rum-runner.
The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy

What is it about democrats. They LOVE to write tax bills, but can't seem to pay their own tax bills.
Identifying narcissists isn't difficult. Just look for the person who is constantly fishing for compliments
and admiration while breaking down over even the slightest bit of criticism.

Yeah, Republicans just pay their representatives to write exemptions straight into law.

So you are saying that Republicans follow the law and Democrats do not? OK.

Not in our book.

Of course, our book doesn't count for much.
