What happened to Caroline?

As you probably know by now, Caroline Kennedy has withdrawn her name from consideration for appointment to the Senate from New York, and won't say why.
She refers to a personal matter, but that's it.
Here's what I think: the fact is, she hadn't been appointed yet. She'd had a rough go in interviews with the media; there were elements of the New York Democratic Party who didn't seem to want her. This was becoming a lot tougher process than perhaps she expected.
Perhaps she just decided--why go through it.
Or decided she didn't have the stomach for it.
As someone in the linked article above suggests, though, the whole thing seems rather bizarre and will ultimately be seen as embarrassing for her.

At the same time, I don't know that she had the knowledge, experience, or fire in the belly for the job, so maybe this is best.

Another Kennedy

So it certainly seems confirmed: Caroline Kennedy is interested in Hillary Clinton's Senate seat, should Mrs. Clinton be confirmed as secretary of state.

To me the most important question to ask is this: what exactly are Ms. Kennedy's qualifications for the position? I'm not worried about a continuation of the Kennedy dynasty or that this was Bobby Kennedy's old seat...

But what conservatives should press is: how is she qualified?
The Senate isn't a celebrities club.
