Bobby Kennedy Jr., a spitting image of his father, is strongly considering a bid to run for office in New York. The AP's Marc Humbert reports:

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has talked to top state Democrats about a possible run for New York attorney general in what could turn into a race against his estranged brother-in-law — Andrew Cuomo, according to people familiar with those conversations.

Among those consulted by Kennedy, an environmental lawyer and son of slain New York Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, are Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and current Attorney General Eliot Spitzer, said the people familiar with the talks. They spoke only on condition of anonymity.

[...]

Kennedy Jr. has been active in New York politics and briefly considered running for the U.S. Senate seat won by Clinton in 2000. The seat was held by the late Daniel Patrick Moynihan, who announced in late 1998 that he would not run for re-election.

For Democrats looking for someone who can overcome the "charisma gap," look no further than RFK Jr. Kennedy is qualified, telegenic and has the ability to evoke nostalgia in just about anyone (save for an heir of Sirhan Sirhan or Richard Nixon). This just might be the beginning of a great political career.
