In February I wrote a weblog entry with the above header --

-- and though for a while thereafter I wasn't so sure, recent events suggest strongly to me that Caroline Kennedy would be a very strong choice for Barack Obama's running mate. I was delighted to learn that Caroline has become good friends with the Obamas since she endorsed Barack and that she is acting as a consulttant to his campaign. Even more delightful is the fact that he chose her to head up his Vice Presidential search committee.

Though her lack of foreign policy experience and the fact that she has not yet held elective office might be considered negatives, her postiives are numerous. She has been in public service for most of her adult life, serving in a wide variety of capacities and with utmost distinction. She is politically and philosophically sympatico with Obama, she is brilliant and insightful, and she is of inherent interest to a broad public.

Obama can better fulfill his need for foreign policy expertise through his choices for National Security Adviser and for Secretary of State; what he needs in a Vice President is someone deeply sympathetic to his worldview, someone smart and attractive and with a distinguished record of public service and high, positive name-recognition. His best choice, in my humble opinion, would be Caroline Kennedy.

CAROLINE KENNEDY FOR VICE PRESIDENT!

Please spread the word! We need to get the idea OUT THERE!
