well as of this writing, it is certainly a better bet that casey will become senator than swift becoming governor.
after all, casey is a candidate, while swift is still a private citizen.
i absolutely do believe swift will return to politics someday. she is young. her problems were minor.
ted kennedy ran a girl off into a lake and then went home to go to sleep before he bothered calling authorities. jane swift used a state helicopter for improper reasons.
which is worse?
I don't think anyone in Massachussetts cares about Chappaquiddick anymore. To them, a vote for Ted is a vote to keep the legacy of JFK alive by having a Kennedy in office. I've been to Cape Cod many times, where my aunt has a house. It's crazy how JFK memorabilia has a cult following up there. He wasn't even that good a president, just young and full of idealism.
That said, I don't know the full extent of what Jane Swift did, but I do know that Casey beating Santorum is a very real possibility. So, I'm inclined to say Option 2.
