Caroline Kennedy

Everybody seems to think that Caroline Kennedy would make a great next Senator for the State of New York. I don't think so.

I don't think so for the same reason that GW Bush was the worst President ever. She has no experience with real people or real life. She has been sheltered from the earliest age. She has everything a person could want. Anything she wants, she gets. She is no doubt a great deal smarter than George Bush. She doesn't seem to have the psychological damage or substance abuse problems that he has. She would no doubt be much better suited to high office than he is. At the end of the day though, they are the same. No real experience, empathy or knowledge of what it is like to be an American, make your way in life, earn a living, relate to people as who you really are. The Senator from the State of New York is going to be different than the one from South Carolina or North Dakota but not that different.

A lot of New Yorkers revere the Kennedys. They might be proud to elect Caroline to the Senate. They would not be well served.
