<span style="font-family: 'Courier New'">Of all the many ways in which Caroline Kennedy's brief and unofficial candidacy for Senate was mishandled, one final ungraceful note is striking particularly close to home, Sources close to Senator Edward M. Kennedy tell TIME that his circle -- including his immediate family -- is furious that his brain cancer is being cited by some in her camp as the reason for her decision to withdraw her name from consideration for the Senate seat being vacated by Hillary Clinton</span>

UPDATE - 1/22 6:00PM:</span></a>

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New'">
The New York Post now adds a few more elements to the confusion surrounding Caroline Kennedy's exit, reporting that Paterson never intended to pick her due to issues over taxes, her nanny and even the state of her marriage:

Kennedy was &quot;mired in some potentially embarrassing personal issues,&quot; the source said, citing tax liabilities and worker compensation liabilities connected to the employment of a nanny.

&quot;She has a tax problem that came up in the vetting and a potential nanny issue,&quot; the source said. &quot;And reporters are starting to look at her marriage more closely,&quot; the source continued, refusing to provide any specifics.

<span style="text-decoration: underline">UPDATE - 1/22:</span> The New York Times reports that tax problems, not personal issues, may have derailed Kennedy's candidacy:

Problems involving taxes and a household employee surfaced during the vetting of Caroline Kennedy and derailed her candidacy for the Senate, a person close to Gov. David A. Paterson said on Thursday, in an account at odds with Ms. Kennedy's own description of her reasons for withdrawing. </span>
