ALBANY - Caroline Kennedy's interest in the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Hillary Clinton could reignite tensions between two political powerhouse families: the Kennedys and Cuomos, political insiders say.
Kennedy's cousin is the ex-wife of Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, who is considered a front-runner for Gov. Paterson's appointment to replace Clinton.
The sudden interest by Caroline Kennedy, daughter of the late President John F. Kennedy and niece to the late Robert F. Kennedy, who once held the seat, throws a titillating wrench into the works, insiders say.
"It's awkward," said one well-known Democrat. "If she's serious, there could be a serious behind-the-scenes war with lots of personal baggage behind it."
Cuomo, whose father, Mario, was a three-term New York governor, was married in 1990 to Kerry Kennedy, Caroline's cousin. The power couple had three children.
In 2003, the two went through a nasty and very public divorce, with the Kennedys believing that Cuomo fed dirt on his wife's extramarital affair to the media.
"Andrew double-crossed my sister," Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was once quoted as saying.

Did Mclame once mention cuomo for a possible post during his campaign? Pathetic!
As a resident of this God-forsaken state, who of course voted for Lazio against clinton, I think I’d prefer kennedy of the two, if only because i think she is a decent human being.
Does she drive? Or fly an airplane? Or ski into trees? Or display other Kennedy tendencies?
"Andrew double-crossed my sister," Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was once quoted as saying.
Only a Kennedy could fail to appreciate the irony in that statement.
The Cuomos
The Bushs
The Clintons
The Gores
Sounds like the last days of the Roman Republic with the Julii and the Bruti fighting to control the State.
A “decent human being”.....a LOT of people are “decent human beings.” Why do we have to have kingdom’s for Senate seats? Someone who is QUALIFIED and a NOT just a NAME would be nice. JMHO.
I hope the governor picks Suozzi, as he is pro-life.
What qualifies her to be a Senator besides her name?
Did I just set myself up? LOL
Well, I ain’t no Cuomo, but I live in NY and it aggravates the hell out of me. Carpetbagging SOBs.
It's must be called the Empire State for a reason...
To be “qualified” for our congress, you need a criminal conviction history....
Caroline ISN’T a decent human being: She’s pro-abortion.
She’s a baby-murderer who pretends to be a Catholic. That’s a Kennedy trait.
As a long time Nassau County resident,with all due respect, Thomas sNAZI (yes my spelling is correct) is a die hard baby killing ambulance chasing left wing pro ACLU socialist.And those are his good points. David Paterson would be doing us a favor getting rid of this vermin from us.
Good.
He main experience seems to be as a fund raiser for non-profit groups.
...but heck, perhaps that's the #1 job task of a Senator, fund raising....:^)
Yeah, i forgot about that. you’re right about that.
At some point, I’m guessing we became medieval Europe with rival families struggling to install their progeny in the institutions of power.
Cuomo is a much more experienced crook than Caroline Kennedy. They’d better go with him.
