I have no qualms about Caroline Kennedy running for Senate. If she enters into a campaign and the people of the State of New York elect her to Senate, that's great - that's their decision and her seat.
However, she includes among her qualifications as candidate for Federal Office the fact that she has written articles about the Constitution and she has raised her family. That's embarrassingly laughable as far as qualifications go. At least Sarah Palin has been elected to Office. Sure she's not done much since, but she can hang her hat on that. She's been elected Mayor and Governor. Caroline has the good fortune of having been born a Kennedy. That does not mean she is fit for the position of Senator, and certainly does not mean that she is the person best suited to fill Senator Clinton's seat.
Appoint someone who's held office, who knows something about serving in public office. If Caroline Kennedy wants to be a Senator, then let her get elected.
To suggest anything other if you've criticized Sarah Palin is hypocritical.

This is one of those things that baffles me about politicians. They are somehow comfortable appointing someone who is not the most qualified for the job. I have nothing against the lady, but this is getting ridiculous. New York certainly has someone with political experience that can run a successful campaign for reelection. I am not so sure Kennedy would be able to do that, which makes her nomination more detrimental than good.
