[question everything]

I have been on record as complaining about sexism against Clinton and Palin.

Big differences: both of these women (and Mosely-Braun, and Dole) have been in the public eye. They campaigned, they met people of all walks of life, they shook hands, ate rubber chicken, kissed babies, endured nasty campaign ads and participated in debates. They were open books when they ran.

Kennedy lived a sheltered life. Her supposedly involvement in charity causes were a matter of selecting the one that she preferred, from all the requests that came her way.

And all of a sudden she wants to be a senator?

Let her campaign, let her meet people outside her circle, let her get out of her sheltered expensive Manhattan condo and let her debate, answer hard, in-your-face questions and let her endure nasty ads from her opponents.

And this is the difference when so many people ask: oh, why is she different from Hillary? Because Hillary fought for causes and was active since her days in college.
