163. so having run for office and havingt vast political experience is all it takes
for someone to be a better choice for the Senate than Caroline Kennedy?

You obviously don't mean that since you've already conceded that maybe, if you actually knew anything about these 29 senators you think are presumptively superior to Kennedy, you might not think that much of them.

You can't answer my question because you don't know squat about these folks. And that basically proves my point. A virtual unknown isn't going to have the clout in the US Senate that someone like Caroline Kennedy would have. Maybe they know how to draft legislative language. But so what. That's what staff are for. Its what the legislation would say that matters. And whether anyone would bother to pay attention to it. ANd legislation sponsored/co-sponsored by Caroline Kennedy will get more attention and more support than a bill tossed into the hopper by someone that 99 percent of the other members of the US Senate probably have never heard of.
