You misunderstood my question. Would you object if she was not a Kennedy? If she was just Caroline Schlossberg with absolutely no connection to the Kennedys?
I don't take it as another Kennedy deciding she knows what is best for this country but rather another Kennedy willing to step up and trying to help this country. I honestly don't see it as an arrogant act and certainly do not believe she is insulting New Yorkers or the nation by saying she wants to be a senator. She will be one of many if appointed and a junior senator at that. Her power will be pretty limited and she'll have little chance to make any real difference for quite awhile.
Even if she is appointed now, she will have to run for office in two years. That should be enough time for New Yorkers to decide whether they like the job she is doing and vote accordingly.
