She'd get kicked around so badly and I'd love every minute of it.
don't underestimate the power of big name like a Kennedy, I'm sure a lot of people thought that Hillary would never get elected when she ran for the seat 2000. RFK had limited qualifications/ties to the state. when he got elected in New York. New York is also an extremal democratic state.
I think Kennedy will most likely get re elected if she is appointed senator but I don't see her getting elected president in 2016. that's just based solely on my gut.
