Al Gore's Daughter Karenna May Run For U.S. House

Karenna Gore Schiff, the oldest daughter of Al Gore, is reportedly eyeing a seat in the House of Representatives.

"Gore Schiff is openly discussing the possibility of running," reports Roll Call, citing anonymous Democratic operatives.

Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) will challenge Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand for the Democratic nomination in 2010, a senior adviser told the Daily News. An official announcement is expected this week.

Her departure would lead to the first open-seat House race in Manhattan since 1976.

Gore Schiff, 35, is a lawyer and serves on the board of the Association to Benefit Children.

Late Update: The rumors are false. Gore Schiff is not running, confirms a family spokeswoman.

Well, if we must have Harvard legacies and political dynasties running the country, hopefully she will prove more competent/honest than the rest.
