“I’ve talked to Caroline Kennedy and she’s clearly interested,” New York Sen. Chuck Schumer said at a news conference Monday afternoon.
He has indicated that 12 people are interested in the position that is coming available with Hilary Clinton moving on to US Secretary of State.
“She’s interested in the position,” New York Gov. David Paterson confirmed. But at the same time “she realizes it’s not a campaign.” Paterson, who will name Clinton’s successor, noted that Kennedy had indicated a desire to “sit down and tell me what her qualifications are.”
Kennedy’s interest in the seat could mean the continuation of a family legacy in the Senate that began 56 years ago with the election of her father as the then-junior senator from Massachusetts.
Her uncle Ted Kennedy has represented Massachusetts in the Senate since 1963, and her uncle Robert Kennedy served as New York’s junior senator from 1965 until he was assassinated in 1968.

Sinful 3 Minute Chocolate Cake
1 Coffee Mug
4 Tablespoons Flour(that’s plain flour, not self rising)
4 Tablespoons Sugar
2 Tablespoons baking cocoa
1 egg
3 Tablespoons Milk
3 Tablespoons oil
3 Tablespoons chocolate chips (mini chips would be the best)
Small splash of Vanilla
Add dry ingredients to mug and mix well.
Add the egg and mix thoroughly.
Pour in the milk and oil and mix well.
Add the chocolate chips and vanilla and mix again.
Put your mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes at 1000 watts
(a bit less time if your microwave is stronger) The cake will rise over
the top of the mug, but don’t be alarmed!
Allow to cool a little, and tip out onto a plate if desired.
Eat! (This can serve 2 if you want to share!)
And why is this the most dangerous cake recipe in the world? Because now we
are all only 5 minutes
away from chocolate cake at any time of the day or night!
