Caroline Kennedy made a little more news on NY1 tonight, telling host Dominic Carter that she finally spoke to Hillary Clinton -- who didn't initially take her call -- and that, if she's not selected, she won't run for the seat."We did have a very nice, you know, conversation, and obviously I'm not gonna talk about that, except to say that she said this was the greatest job that she'd ever had and could imagine having," Kennedy said. "So, she was very encouraging, and that was, you know, that was nice because she's a huge inspiration of mine."
Kennedy, who projected a relaxed, accessible persona, was also asked if she'd run in 2010 if not selected. "Well, if he doesn't select me, I would support the person that he does select," she said.
| In other words, she's not going to dirty her hands if she actually has to, you know, run for the job. |
A spokesman, Stefan Friedman, confirmed she'd voted for Ferrer.
Kennedy also said she'd had "a number of conversations" with Governor David Paterson, who will make the choice.
