It's one thing when the children of politicians use their name and network advantages to make political careers for themselves - regrettable but inevitable in our very imperfect meritocracy - but quite another when it's just bestowed on them.It has additionally been pointed out that she's not terribly progressive, and has an extremely thin public record.
On the marginally-related topic, Beau Biden was not appointed outright to the Delaware senate seat, which made me glad. But a placeholder was appointed so he would have something of a clear field to run for the open seat in 2010. He is, however, DE attorney general and currently serving in The Sandbox, so at least he is a credible candidate, albeit one whose accomplishments do have something to do with his name. And at least the voters will get to make the final decision.

NY Senate was entirely bestowed upon HClinton.
No, I'm pretty sure I got to vote for the nice lady that had been on TV so much.
