NY Democratic advisers talk up 'caretaker' senator
By MICHAEL GORMLEY – 4 hours ago
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — Sen. Bill Clinton? Sen. Mario Cuomo? Don't
completely rule it out. The former president and the former New York
governor are 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.
