Comeback Camelot

Come back Camelot, come back. We need you. Such are the pleas of a generation, such are the illusions.

Hearing the Camelot Kennedy comparisons in this past election cycle has been hard to swallow. Camelot was a different time, a different era, and a different set of circumstances. It wasn't planned, it just sort of happened. But today's Camelot is different. There are many who are using this (perceived) Camelot period to re-live their unresolved issues from their youth and are using that moment in time, as a foundational basis for their existences.

We now know, forces are exerting an huge amount of pressure to get Caroline into Hillary's seat. But what we do not know is the inner workings and dynamics, of this entire situation as it sits before us.

Besides the fantasies of those who are coming to grips with their own mortalities, here is something worthy of note:

It was reported that at one time (a long time ago), JFK Jr. was privately considering running for the seat that eventually became Hillary's. After JFK Jr.'s untimely death, many rumors and conspiracy theories (which were never proven) were being circulated. The question becomes, how much (if any) does this play into Caroline's decision to want this seat?

Suddenly, we have in front of us, Caroline "I want my private life to be my own" Kennedy, being tranformed into Caroline "I want to be in the limelight" Kennedy. Suddenly, out of nowhere, she expects to be handed something which she has never shown an interest in before, for little or no effort on her part, and without validation by anyone (other than an elected official and those that lobby for her).

She hasn't held one office, she's been elected to nothing. And to to top it all off, the NY Daily News is reporting this lady hasn't always voted in elections, raising the question of whether or not, she failed in the role of a citizen in the political process. How is it we can see this, argue this, but very few care enough to make the necessary noise? If I were in the state of NY right now, I would be satiating the Governor's office about this. If the people can convince him there are enough of them to derail his efforts in the next election, he may think twice about this. But then again, he may not.
