The name that keeps on giving – Think sweet Caroline Kennedy is qualified for the senate? Apparently 52% of Americans think she is.

Two possibilities. Either contempt for Congress has swelled to the point that voters figure she can’t be worse than the current crop — if we’re willing to stoop to electing Senator Franken, why not Senator Princess? — or George Carlin’s assessment of the public was right all along. Which would be ironic in this case given his politics, as he’d probably have been warmer to the idea of Caroline in the Senate than you or me. I guess this lends yet more credibility to those Euros that say American voters are stupid. First Hussein gets 52% of the vote and now it looks like this Kennedy, who has NO political experience in her life, other than living off her father’s name is somehow “qualified” to be a senator.

God help us, we actually have a gender gap on this question.

But the poll also indicates there’s a gender gap, with 57 percent of women saying Kennedy is qualified. That number drops to 47 percent among men, with 46 percent of male respondents saying Kennedy is not qualified.

“Men may think of qualifications for public office in terms of work experience, while women may be looking at a candidate’s life experience,” says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland. “Caroline Kennedy has a personal history that may be compelling to many women, but her resume is not very long, and that may be a mark against her to some men.”
