Should somebody with no experience, no history, no credentials, be appointed to a position mostly based on their family's fame?

I agree that we need outsiders at times, and your post is the first in the thread that made me question why it was *so* important to me to have experience. I guess my answer would be that *discarding* the more experienced, better credentialed, candidates, in favor of "brand name" candidates, reeks to me of political corruption.

It's not her fault that she has the name, but it is her choice to *actively seek a role* that puts people in the uncomfortable position of passing over the genuinely credentialed, in favor of the easily marketed brand.

What would you think of Chelsea putting her name in, as an 'outsider'?
