It looks like there won’t be any more Kennedy’s in the Senate this year.

Caroline Kennedy withdrew her name from consideration in replacing Hilary Clinton’s Senate spot.

Kennedy released a statement that said “I informed Governor Paterson today that for personal reasons I am withdrawing my name from consideration for the United States Senate,”

Gov. Paterson is expected to make his selection by Saturday.  Clinton resigned from her Senate seat Jan. 21 after she was confirmed for the position of secretary of state.
