NY Post Report: Caroline Kennedy Out

The NY Post drops a bomb at 7:00PM EST… Caronline is out!:

Caroline Kennedy tonight withdrew her name from consideration to replace Hillary Clinton in the U.S. Senate after learning that Gov. David Paterson wasn’t going to choose her, The Post has learned.

Kennedy’s decision removes the highest-profile name in the ring to step into Clinton’s now-vacant seat, as she departs after getting confirmed today as President Obama’s Secretary of State.

Sources said the reason Paterson had decided not to tap the daughter of John F. Kennedy was her poor performances in media interviews and in in private sessions with various officials.

Update: AP calls the NY Post’s bluff… who is giving us B.S.?

Update: Kennedy issues statement – “I’m Out”.
