Sources say governor may choose Kennedy

Caroline Kennedy will be New York Governor David Paterson's choice to fill the senate seat being vacated by Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Two people close to Governor Patterson told the Associated Press they believe Kennedy will be his choice, but Governor Paterson cautions he's still looking.

New York state assembly speaker Sheldon Silver is throwing his support behind Kennedy. He says he'll work for her election.

Governor Paterson has sole authority to name a replacement for the next two years.

Under state law, there would be an election to fill the last two years in 2010.
