FILE: 2008:  Maryland Democratic Rep. Donna Edwards at a Capitol Hill 
press conference.REUTERSMaryland Rep. Donna Edwards said Sunday she wasnt 
ready to support a boycott of Florida over the Trayvon Martin case, 
despite reported support from members of her own Congressional Black Caucus.Edwards, 
a Democrat, told Fox News Sunday that she has yet to fully 
examine the call to boycott, as proposed by civil rights leader the 
Rev. Jesse Jackson.Jackson said after a Florida jury found neighborhood 
watch volunteer George Zimmerman not guilty July 13 of all charges in 
the fatal 2012 killing of Martin, a teenager, that his Rainbow PUSH 
Coalition would consider a boycotting on Florida, which he characterized 
as a kind of apartheid state."Edwards said that to her knowledge the 
caucus has yet to formally discuss the issues and express concern about 
a statewide boycott.The impact on some communities could be devastating, 
Edwards said.Her comments follows three other caucus members -- Democratic 
Reps. Lacy Clay, Bennie Thompson and Barbara Lee  saying they would 
support such a boycott."That's probably the best strategy because people 
understand dollars and cents," Clay, D-Mo., said Friday, according to The 
Hill newspaper. "And they understand, if there's a significant drop-off

Vogue editor-in-chief Anne Wintour, who raised $2.68 million and purportedly 
wanted either the London or Paris diplomatic positions.Beyond Wintour, the 
most talked about potential ambassadorship is Caroline Kennedy to Japan.Kennedy, 
daughter of President Kennedy, certainly has the political pedigree and 
ranks among the presidents biggest fundraisers and political supporters. 
However, critics argue that her lack of experience in elected office makes 
her a risky choice as Japan remains a crucial ally in trying 
to maintain stability in the Korean Peninsula.Still, Dartmouth government 
professor Jennifer Lind argues Kennedys stature give her extraordinary access 
to the president and that her fathers unconventional  decision in the 
1960s to appoint Harvard professor Edwin O. Reischauer to the Tokyo post 
helped knit  two countries once dismissed as impossible allies.The Foreign 
Service union, while not directly criticizing Kennedy or Obama, told FoxNews.com 
this spring that it does not support such appointments and that the 
rate of political appointees to ambassadorships for Japan and major European 
countries is as high as 85 percent.The sale of ambassadorships and rewards 
for political support basically suggests we really dont value diplom
