Kenedy another victim of the "Palin treatment"?

I've noticed ingeneral, democratics being treated more respectfully than republicans. I also believe Kennedy is being treated a certain way because in many ways a lot of Americans grew up with her. She's too much of a celebrity in a way to get the Palin, new comer, bash. I don't her ability, which she sorely lacks, will be questioned due to her Kennedy charm.

First of all, there's no fair comparison between Caroline Kennedy and Sarah Palin; Palin was the V.P. nominee and had her ticket won she'd have been a heartbeat from the Presidency. Caroline is in the running to be appointed to a two year term as one of 100 U.S. Senators. IF she's appointed by Governor Patterson and if she chooses to continue in that seat she'll have to run for election in both 2010 and in 2012. I haven't seen the interview you mention above so I really can't make a fair comparison between that and any of Palin's interviews or quotes but I have seen and heard Caroline speak on quite a few occasions and I've found her to be quite articulate and well-spoken.

I'm not sure if Caroline is "qualified" or "ready" to be the junior Senator from New York or not but that decision isn't mine, it's up to Governor Patterson and after that it will be up to the voters of N.Y. whether they want to keep her there. I'm sure she'll get plenty of media attention if she is selected and everyone will be waiting for her to mess up.

That having been said, I'm afraid (or maybe I should say thankful...lol!) there's only one Sarah Palin.

I see no point in it other than lowering my standards to compete with the Palin bashers. I've got better things to do.

Caroline Kennedy is a Kennedy, that's about enough said. The media would never dare to attack her like they did Palin! Uncle would be after them in a heartbeat! And, I think she'll be given the Senate seat of Clinton's simply because she is a Kennedy.

I haven't heard that interview, either.

And while that statement isn't very well-formed, and she says "you know" a lot, it doesn't compare to something like (for example) claiming foreign policy experience due to your state's proximity to a foreign country.

I heard a few minutes of Carolyn Kennedy's interview the few minutes she spoke she did use the words you know numbers of times,a guest democrat speaker on Fox news said she counted the you knows and Carolyn Kennedy said you know 196 times in this certain interview.
This women did not have much nice to say about Carolyn Kennedy and sounded much like the rips as my great-grandmother would had call them that unmercifully degraded Governor Sarah Palin.
Sarah Palin had been a successful mayor and has the title of governor before her name and most people know very well the disrespect she got from certain people was not warranted.
Unless because Carolyn Kennedy is the daughter of John and Jackie Kennedy and a very rich democrat she should expect to be treated even with less respect by the mean democrats then Gov Sarah Palin who actually has experience holding government offices,she has been a very successfully four year mayor of her town and she is the most popular governor of all the governors coming in to the presidential race with a very high approval rate after two years serving as the governor of Alaska.
With the mess in Illinois over the pay to play game over Barack Obama's vacant Senate seat I don't expect the governor of New York to appoint Carolyn Kennedy to Hillary Clinton's United States senate seat.
Unless he is just as crooked as so many in high places and appoints Carolyn Kennedy to the vacate senate seat because she is a rich Kennedy.
In regaurd to Gov Sarah Palin being the vise president of the United States I never had any concern over that she would do the same as what Barack Obama is doing if she had to step up to be the president of the United States,having placed all around her people that have the needed experience in every field.
Barack Obama is being sworn in as president of the United States he has actually no experience to be the president he has wrote two books about himself and has served a very-very short time in the senate and while there did nothing notable.
Barack Obama wants to have appointed Hillary Clinton who happens to have experience and has keep on president George W.Bush man Gates so in the event Gov Sarah Palin stepped up to be president she would be doing much of the same things as Obama is doing,so I just could never buy the argument Gov Sarah Palin was not experienced enough to become president of the United States when the democrats are pushing for a man that has actually very little experience and has never been a mayor or a governor,never managed a state and it's thousands of employees,never has signed a bill other then his household bills,so in my opinion the degrading of Gov Sarah Palin was off the wall.
Carolyn Kennedy most of her adult life has stayed out of politics not even supporting the democrat party with her hundred million dollars and failing to even vote so I don't think she has earned a United States senate seat and if the governor of New York appoints her he has failed the state he was elected to wisely serve.
Other wise Carolyn Kennedy has been a upstanding human being,a daughter,sister,wife,mother,a women that has worked in her community and done very good things with her life inspit of her personal sufferings loosing her parents and brother and uncles and so forth,she is a very brave and strong women.
The only problem I see with her wanting to become a United States senator she has not earned the title and there are numbers of people ahead of her that has worked hard to become United States senators and they should be the governor of New York very top consideration and I hope that turns out to be the case because it is the right thing to do.
People that stooped as low as they did in regaurd to Gov Sarah Palin will be just as hateful,mean and nasty if they personally degrade Carolyn Kennedy and it appears this is already starting with that group of people and that will be shame on top of shame in my opinion.

Well no she wont be treated the same as Palin. For one she is a Kennedy. Two her father was a famous president that was assassinated. Three people have a very romantic view when it comes to her and her family (the whole camlot thing). People have about her and her family for so long that they feel they know her. As one person here on mylot put it "America's Princess". Plus add to that she is a democrat. Even though she has not real political qualifiations she will be treated with more respect than Palin.

She will probly get the position. WHy? Well because she is a Kennedy of course. She is riding her family name all the way the congress. Now wether or not she is up for the job ...we will have to wait and see. But she will get it over an no name or less known person with better qualifications just because of her genetics. Who says we do not have royality here in America. IF you have the right name (Clinton, Bush, Kennedy etc...) you automaticly get a job in politics.

I just don't see Caroline Kennedy being as lampoonable as Sarah Palin. Also, it would take a Tina Fey caliber comedian to do the job and how many Tina Feys can there be? The cicumstances are very different. Caroline would be filling an interim senate seat. She would not be a hearbeat away from the most powerful job on earth.

In my opinion, she is not qualified to fill Hillary Clinton's shoes and is coming accross as a light weight but I'm not a New Yorker and the choice is not mine to make.
