"What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet."
--Romeo & Juliet (II, ii, 1-2).
After conversations with friends, reading my favorite blogs, and tracking the story in the NYT & CNN, I find Caroline Kennedy's bid for the U.S. Senate bittersweet. I love her support and commitment to public service, but honestly believe that her name positions her to be the new Senator from NY. Its amazing to see so many changes in politics. Yet, this example shows that as "the more things change, the more they stay the same."
Barack Obama = two steps forward
Caroline Kennedy = two steps back
