I Was Really Hoping For This

Reports are flooding in from a variety of sources that Caroline Kennedy is withdrawing her senate bid. I'm very bummed about this - I thought it would have been incredible to see what she had to offer in the political arena. The sight of her at the inauguration was one of the many points during which I cried. The strength it took to sit up there given the assassination of her father, the tragic death of her brother and her mother's painful passing, was astounding. The Kennedy family has a long history of incredible joy and pain in near equal amounts. While there is some debate as to why she withdrew, citing personal reasons seems a reputable decision given her uncle's poor health. I hope she reconsiders at an appropriate point - the Kennedy clan has consistently given their all and I know she has it in her.
