Although I lean more towards the liberal side, I must say that I have never been a big fan of the Kennedy clan. I was just looking at the Kennedy family tree and in view of all of its branches I was wondering if US politics will ever get rid of the Kennedys again They seem almost like one of those royal families in ancient Europe.
Why I even want them out of politics? Because it seems odd to me that an entire clan thinks some of them should be professional politicians just because their name is Kennedy.
There is no politics gene, so why do the Kennedys think they should be in politics generation after generation just because there may have been one or two of them who did an OK job (and even that is disputed if I am not mistaken)?
Isn't it much more likely that one of your neighbors would be a better politician than any Kennedy?

The Kennedy's are so over as a political family. Influence is gone, nada, zip. Next.

I'm not so sure about that.

Ted Kennedy III, an 11-year old boy, already has Senate ambitions for 2044 Makes me wonder if that was his idea or whether he is being pushed into politics like other kids are being pushed into sports or ballet by their ambitious parents.
