New York, Jan. 7 : A newly-released poll has warned that New York Governor David Paterson would be wise not to consider appointing Caroline Kennedy to Hillary Clinton's Senate seat.

Washington - Caroline Kennedy rolled up her sleeves Friday in the scramble for the New York Senate seat being vacated by Hillary Clinton, batting down a comparison between her and actress Jennifer Lopez.
