The New York Times ran a fairly unflattering story over the weekend on Caroline Kennedy’s bid to serve as the replacement-Senator for Hillary Rodham Clinton. <\/p>\n
The piece was based on a lengthy interview Kennedy gave — part of a new phase of her statewide PR blitz.<\/p>\n
During the conversation, the Times’ panel of interviewers raised the specter of a political career that would necessitate journeys to the distant North Country.<\/p>\n
Specifically, they wondered how Ms. Kennedy’s husband would view her travels.<\/p>\n
Asked how much of a role her husband, Edwin A. Schlossberg, might take in her political career \u2014 on the hustings in Watertown, N.Y., say, or other political way stations in the north country \u2014 she hinted that he might be busy elsewhere, given his own career as the head of a prominent design firm. But she said no one could have a more supportive husband.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe more time I spend with him, the happier I am,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Ms. Kennedy said she had spent some time in the Catskills and the Adirondacks; when asked her favorite place in the state outside of the city and Long Island, she said, \u201cI like visiting historical sites. I loved visiting the battlefields of Saratoga.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
That’s not exactly a deep intimacy with upstate New York.<\/p>\n
The Times portrayed Kennedy as occasionally thin-skinned, a trait she would have to lose if she hopes to hold the prized seat.<\/p>\n
\u201cHave you guys ever thought about writing for, like, a woman\u2019s magazine or something?\u201d she asked the reporters. \u201cI thought you were the crack political team.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
