Kennedy Quits!

Caroline leaves before midnight....

Caroline Kennedy tonight withdrew her name from consideration to replace Hillary Clinton in the U.S. Senate after learning that Gov. David Paterson wasn't going to choose her.  There was a question about whether or not the slipper fit.

Paterson apparently decided not to tap the daughter of John F. Kenned, surprising many, due to her poor performances in private sessions with other  officials.  

Paterson has said he is not yet sure who he will select, but plans to announce his pick by this weekend - and an announcement is expected either Friday or Saturday.
