Doesn't it seem that Caroline Kennedy is receiving a bit of a strange dish from the mainstream media? It's almost as if the media decided to end what has been a bad year for its treatment of female candidates on a high note.
Sure, I understand the calls against dynasty building, and I can see how her decidedly non-politician like speaking skills have hurt her. Yet, the degree to which her every move is being scrutinized just adds to the unequal treatment that both Sarah Palin and Hillary Clinton received earlier this year. I think at some point the media has to ask itself, would the fact that she said 'you know' 142 times during one interview be judged so harshly if she were a male?
