And who said anything about Palin running for the Senate? The topic was experience to run for a public office. Palin had experience for the office she was running for and Kennedy has non for the office she seeks. Palin was ridiculed in these posts because of her lack of experience for public office, even though she has held public office, yet now Kennedy is defended simply because she has a law degree!

I've seen exactly what I expected to see for a response, one-up-manship, gotcha, and twisting of the topic to appear superior.
