Media critics are comparing the Palin media blitz with the way the media has treated Caroline Kennedy.
Their situations are different. Palin was a young unknown candidate running for an office were she was just breaths away from having the power to launch nuclear missles at other countries. Kennedy is known by any educated American and her life story has been almost engraved in our brains. She is running for only a senate post, a position that many people in her family have held before. Palin's conservative platform and views are only supported by 40 percent of the country. While Kennedy's liberal views are probably more popular, especially in her district. However, I think anyone can argue that Kennedy hasn't held a job that would qualify her to move up the ladder to become a senator. Can't she try to be a city councilwoman or mayor first? But others argue we need less politicians in our government, and that is a good argument. Palin needs to focus her attention on Alaska, and forget about riding her celebrity wave for the time being.
