Kennedy drops Senate bid

Caroline Kennedy tells the New York governor that she won't be seeking the Senate seat vacated by Hillary Clinton, who, by the way, was confirmed as secretary of state.

Kennedy says her uncle's decline factored into the decision. Strikes me as a decision looking for a reason. The resistance and criticism she received probably had more to do with it.

So, will this end the Kennedy Era for good? Thoughts?
