The Huffington Post | Full News Feed —
Nicholas Confessore and David Halbfinger interviewed Caroline Kennedy for the New York Times this weekend and concluded that she is "less of a candidate than an idea of one." According to the interview transcript, published in full online, Kennedy wasn't very impressed either:

Politics Daily —
... Read the full transcript for Caroline Kennedy's interview with the New York Times (it's worth the time) and you hear a woman who is, yes, totally unprepared for the bare minimum expected of someone who wants to be handed a Senate seat. The two Times' reporters spend the first forty percent of their time trying to drill down and understand why - and how badly - she wants the seat. Totally fair. ...

... If you read the transcript, you get a better sense of where that comes from. They were more than halfway through the interview at this point, and the whole thing had a certain People Magazine quality about it. The reporters asked Kennedy repeatedly about an imagined conversation they have in their heads, out of a bad biopic or something, a "moment of clarity" where she blurts out "I'm going to do this!" When Kennedy suggests that it didn't actually happen that way, because, um, life pretty much doesn't happen that way, they basically ask her to ...

Taylor Marsh —
... if Caroline Kennedy does not get appointed to the Senate,
one big reason will be because of Gov. Paterson’s calm, unwavering strength
to do absolutely nothing in the face of a lot of Democratic elite pressure to
pick the Kennedy. His ability to do nothing and wait has allowed the clock to
tick, giving Mrs. Kennedy time to make her case. Unfortunately, the more people hear from her
the
worse her reviews get.
um... like, you know. I mean, wow. What
