I believe in the free speech that liberals used to believe in, the economic freedom that conservatives used to believe in, and the personal freedom that America used to believe in.

A Hint In A Pronoun ?

New York Congressman Charles Rangel says he knows who the state’s next Senator will be:

RAFAEL PI ROMAN: Lastly, I know you talked to Governor Patterson about the replacement for Senator Clinton, I was wondering if you have any favorites among the candidates that are being discussed?
CONGESSMAN RANGEL: Well the governor has already made up his mind and he shared it with me, and I support that he’s going to select the best possible candidate that he can.
RAFAEL PI ROMAN: When are we going to find that out?
CONGESSMAN RANGEL: When he selects him.

So, there are a few possibilities here:

  1. Rangel really does know who Patterson will pick, and knows that the person in question is male, meaning it’s not Caroline Kennedy
  2. Rangel knows who Patterson will pick and his using the pronoun “him” in the universal sense.
  3. Rangel has no idea who the pick is and is just bloviating.

At this point, option # 3 is just as likely as the other two.
