Political Comment

I just read that Caroline Kennedy will be visiting my hometown of Tonawanda, NY today as she solicits support for her campaign to be named to fill the soon-to-be-vacated Senate seat of Hillary Clinton. Since this is the first time I have ever heard of a candidate for such a prestigious post actually looking for support in Tonawanda (that is, by actually visiting the place), I just want to say that I hope it helps net her the appointment. I have no idea what her other qualifications may be (aside from her name, obviously), but if she is perceptive enough to recognize Tonawanda as a critical place where one can understand the needs and priorities of the state, that's good enough for me!
