CITY'S FAVORITE SON HAD
EYED SENATE RUN: REPORT
By MARILYN RAUBER
WASHINGTON - John Kennedy Jr.
was considering running for Senate,
but dropped the idea when Hillary
Rodham Clinton jumped in, it was
reported yesterday.
Kennedy was "very quietly exploring"
a campaign for retiring Sen. Daniel P.
Moynihan's New York seat before the
First Lady voiced her interest,
Newsweek magazine reported.
The magazine, citing an unnamed
close pal, said it was only a matter of
time before the young Kennedy ran for
office.
Ex-Clinton adviser Paul Begala said
people also urged John Jr. to run
earlier when New Jersey Sen. Bill
Bradley quit his seat.
"He was talked to about the Moynihan
race, he said, the governor's race and
the mayor's race. I think one day,
that's something that was in him,"
Begala told NBC's "Meet The Press."
Kennedy, while eagerly eyed by New
York Democrats, was publicly coy
about his ambitions, saying only,
when pressed about a future in
politics: "I don't rule out anything."
He once joked, when asked about
what he'd do if elected president, that
"I think I would have to call my uncle,
Teddy, and gloat for a moment" - a
dig at Massachusetts Sen. Ted
Kennedy's failed White House
ambitions.
Some pundits believe Kennedy's
creation of George magazine, which
tried to get Generation Xers interested
in politics and gave a forum to both
Democrats and conservatives, was his
steppingstone to public office.
Family adviser Bob Shrum predicted
the Kennedy political legacy would
live on - noting how Kennedy's
cousins have also taken up the
public-office gauntlet.
"Look, this family has been through so
much so many times ... The amazing
thing is they never give up, they never
give in," Shrum told CBS's "Face the
Nation."
"I have no doubt, despite the tragedy,
the pain, going through this again,
they'll continue to make a
contribution, continue to try to make
the country better."
