Reply #63: I am glad Kennedy won over Nixon that is for sure. Too bad Tricky Dick had to come back.

JFK and RFK are more legends and icons then real people. They had many negative parts to their policies and personalities but they did succeed and giving people hope when people needed it. With Senate appts, I say lets avoid this in the future and just have a special election but only with two people from the party that was in office before. Then let them just fill out the rest of the previous person's term and be up for reelection again. Too much back and forth over who should be Senator for all 3 of these seats, NY, IL, and DE. Biden has a placeholder which is not a bad way to go. There will be an election in 2 years to fairly decide who will be their Senator. Caroline seems okay to me, I am not in love with her or dislike her. She is an intelligent woman. Maybe does not have tons of experience but she has been involved in politics her whole life, Who knows how to get things done with people better then children of Presidents? Plus, I am in CT and we are next door to NY and MASS and we liberal New Englanders like their Kennedys. Its embedded in us at an early age! I am 32 and have always liked the Kennedys.
