New Yorkers Love Dynasties

Who will fill Hillary Clinton's senate seat? I'm not sure, but whoever it is you'll know their dad.

According to the latest Marist Poll, Caroline Kennedy and New York State Attorney General Andrew Cuomo are tied at 25% among registered New York voters. An equally high number, 26%, are unsure of who the next New York senator should be. Gov. David Paterson will appoint a person to the seat after it’s vacated in January.

So we've got the niece of onetime New York Senator Bobby Kennedy in a deadheat with the son of onetime New York City Mayor Mario Cuomo. Which basically means Fran Drescher only has a shot at this if she can prove herself to be the lovechild of Chuck Schumer and Fiorello LaGuardia's ghost.
