Caroline Kennedy made the rounds from Midtown to The Bronx yesterday, meeting with representatives of key voting constituencies – Jews and Hispanics – as she pressed her “noncampaign” to be named US senator.

The 51-year-old Camelot daughter had a private breakfast at The Regency hotel with Bronx Borough President Adolfo Carrion – whose name has also been mentioned as a possibility for the seat being vacated by Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton.

“We talked about immigration reform, and we talked about some of the problems we have with health care and the Medicaid shortage that we face here in the state,” Carrion told The Post, which first reported him as being vetted to head President-elect Barack Obama‘s new Office of Urban Policy.

Bronx Rep. Eliot Engel also sat down with Kennedy yesterday and insisted she was “down to earth” and would be “a fine senator.”
