Caroline Kennedy has decided to pursue Hillary Clinton’s U.S. Senate seat, The New York Times reported Monday.

The decision follows weeks of speculation that the early supporter of Barack Hussein Obama would trade in her otherwise private life in order to seek an appointment by New York Gov. David Paterson to the seat once held by her uncle, Robert F. Kennedy.

The Times reported that Kennedy will ask Paterson to consider her for the job. The daughter of former President John F. Kennedy is known as an education advocate, and would face likely competition for the post from other more familiar faces in New York politics.

Among the pool of potential candidates is state Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, son of former Gov. Mario Cuomo. Some Democrats have questioned whether Kennedy would bring more than name recognition to the job.

Clinton has been nominated to serve as Obama’s secretary of state.

I guess if you have the money and connections you can be a Senator too?!
