Bill Clinton Senate Seat Warmer

This seems to me to be a much better idea than Caroline Kennedy.

The former president is among several boldface names being touted as possible "caretakers" for New York's Senate seat -- people who would serve until the 2010 elections but wouldn't be interested in running to keep the job.

As the process of picking Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's replacement gets messier, the option may become increasingly attractive to Gov. David Paterson, who has sole authority to name a successor.


Some Democrats are opposed to this because they want a candidate who would then run in the 2010 election, rather than just a caretaker.

Am I the only one who thinks it likely that Mr Clinton would, in fact, choose to run in 2010, even though he denies it now?
