Caroline Kennedy Staying in Politics

"Whatever I can do to help I'm right there," she told Tom Brokaw on Meet the Press.

Caroline Kennedy and Eric Holder vetted the vice president pool for Obama. She said she came away even more impressed with Obama, the way he listened and brought people together. She also said she was pleased with the quality of people in public service.

She blew off the question of Hillary-- whether Hillary was considered.
I ask, why should Hillary have been considered? She never got over herself.
Brokaw asked Kennedy about McCain's new ad that has Biden saying, during the primaries, that Obama wasn't ready.

She said it proves that Obama has the confidence and judgement to pick someone like Joe Biden, who knows and has worked with McCain.
There are serious problems to be solved, she said.

Brokaw asked: Would you take on a role in Washington, perhaps on education?
"I don't think there is a more important cause."
