Will NY Govenor Patterson Appoint a Black Woman to the United States Senate? Why Not

Well yesterday we put up a post about the funn business related tot he media's treatment of Jesse Jackson, Jr. Our hypothesis is that some powerful forces don't want him in the US Senate and the Chicago Tribune and ABC, no doubt with help from unknown sources packaged the "revelation" of JJJ as Senate Candidate No. 5 to create the appearance that the criminal complaint supported wrong doing in an effort to seal his political fate and keep him out of the US Senate. During the comment thread several readers from NY complained about the foregone conclusion that Caroline Kennedy will replace Hillary Clinton because of the cache of the "Kennedy" name. Despite the fact that Caroline doesn't have a lick of legispative experience. No, being related to people who hold office isn't enough and New york is begginning to make its junior Senator position look like some old vestage from the days of the monarchy- where certain people because of their leniage have a devine right to power. Even in Deleware, their are rumors that Biden's replacement is just keeping the seat warm until Biden's son can return from his tour of duty. Ever since the election , I have ben inaundated with emails form every interest group under the sun EXCEPT Black women. These groups have legislative agendas. These groups are already making demands on the Obama administration. These groups are not afraid to make their requests made known and some of them are urgin patterson to appoint a woman to replace Hillary Clinton. So that begs the question, if Black women wanted to push for a sister to get a seat in the United States Senate via NY or IL, who should that be and why? Its not enough to complain about Patterson going with Kennedy, you have to offer an alternative and fight just as hard. We have not because we ask not. So who are you asking for?
