I think Caroline Kennedy's "candidacy" was the joke, Roxy. She hadn't bothered to vote in several major elections--and lots of minor ones. It wa she who kept changing her mind.
Quite ffankly I was hoping that Tom Suozzi would be named to the job. He's aggressive, intelligent and is a licensed CPA. Additionally, he's breathtakingly handsome.
