The Case for Caroline Kennedy

It is common knowledge that Ms. Kennedy has never run for public office before. This does not mean, however, that she is not qualified to fill Sen. Hillary Clinton's senate seat when Clinton becomes the next Secretary of State. 

Kennedy is on the Board of Directors of the Committee on Presidential Debates and the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund. 

She is President of the Kennedy Library Foundation. 

Between 2002 and 2004, Kennedy worked as director of the Office of Strategic Partnerships for the New York City Department of Education. Kennedy worked as director for just $1 a week. During her tenure at the Office, she helped raise $65 million for New York City Public Schools. 

Kennedy served as the head of President Elect Barack Obama's Vice Presidential search committee as well. 

Her previous careers have given Kennedy executive and fundraising experience. Between 2009-2010, she will gain even more experience as a Senator and will have a transparent voting record to analyze.
