Sen Kennedy?

The last couple of days, there has been a lot of talk about Caroline Kennedy being appointed to Sen Clinton's seat. Many New Yorkers and others around the country believe that she is only being considered because of her last name. Now, I am a believer that in the world of politics the common man should run for office and serve the people. I also believe that a politician should be just a regular person because they understand the struggles of their community. Of course in some cases, it is not like that. When it comes to the Kennedy Family, they have done a lot for the common good despite their wealth. Most wealthy people tend to forget the common man and do not serve the community.

Caroline Kennedy is very good choice for the seat. I can attest as a former New Yorker, that she will be good for the state. Herself as well as her family has done a lot for the country and a lot for the State of New York. I recall reading a piece by John F Kennedy written during his Sen Campaign that he was well aware of the fact that his family name helped him tremendously. However he also urged the public not to hold that against him. I believe that this should be the same case with Caroline. The public should not detest her for something that she cannot change, that she is a Kennedy.
