Did nanny, hubby troubles scuttle Caroline?

The New York Post, lead sled dog on the Caroline exit fiasco, is now reporting Kennedy never had a shot -- and that she ducked out because of potential tax trouble with her nanny and other issues surrounding her husband Edward Schlossberg.

Haberman and Dicker:

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

The source also said the state of her marriage may have presented a problem as well.

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

This dovetails with our earlier reporting -- namely the fact that Paterson's legal team had grown frustrated with Kennedy's apparent resistance to directly answer all questions posed to her -- and her insistence on using lawyers to act as intermediaries.
