&lt;p&gt;Judgment made on Jan. 21, 2009: Caroline Kennedy has &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/22/nyregion/22caroline.html?_r=1&amp;amp;hp&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;withdrawn herself from consideratio&lt;/a&gt;n for Hillary Clinton&#039;s Senate seat. This prediction is ruled as not happening, which most of the community got right.  -- The Industry Standard &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Original prediciton: Hillary Clinton has been nominated to be Secretary of State under the Obama Administration.  If Clinton is confirmed, her U.S. Senate seat will be vacant, requiring New York Governor David Paterson to pick someone to fill the vacancy. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; Among those interested in filling the position is Caroline Kennedy, the 51-year-old daughter of late President John F. Kennedy.    A recent poll conducted among New York State Democrats show support for Kennedy, currently holding at about 44 percent, compared with just 23 percent for the next leading contender for the slot, State Attorney General Andrew M. Cuomo.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Prediction: If Sen. Clinton is confirmed to be the next Secretary of State, Caroline Kennedy will be chosen to fill Clinton’s vacancy in the Senate.  Kennedy will need to accept the position in order for this prediction to be judged favorably.  * Note, The Industry Standard may adjust the prediction closing date as needed should there be a delay in appointment.&lt;/p&gt;
