Dig this up in eight years, at which point I'll sound prescient or completely ridiculous.
I'm not betting on this... BUT...IF Caroline Kennedy replaces Hillary Clinton in the Senate and wins reelection in 2010 and 2012, she could be well-placed to run for president herself in 2016 as the daughter of a former president, a U.S. senator, and a close ally of the possible incumbent (Obama, if he wins a second term). Nor would she be too old.
For that matter, if Hillary is replaced by Rep. Kirsten Gilibrand (another reputed short-lister), she too would be a very possible prospect for president or vice president in 2016.
