Hometown News: Caroline in Buffalo

Everybody's talking about Caroline Kennedy today. Despite that fact that she's never held political office, she's emerged as the frontrunner to replace Hillary Clinton in the Senate. Ms. Kennedy spoke after visiting Mayor Brown at City Hall yesterday. Her visit to the Quuen City was part of an upstate tour that also included Rochester and Syracuse. Kennedy says she wants to know what issues are here, and she also wanted to meet with local officials. Former Erie County Republican Party Chairman Bob Davis says Kennedy brings with her the name, money, status, and what he called "the Kennedy aura" to the seat, but not the political qualifications.
