In his Oct. 25 letter “Kennedy name is candidate’s only qualification,” F.B. Townley says that Joseph Kennedy “is an empty suit” in terms of qualifications for Congress. In addition to his degree from Harvard Law School and undergraduate degree from Stanford, Kennedy has experience as a Peace Corps volunteer in the Dominican Republic, where he helped low-income people organize for community economic development. You don't get much more “real world” than that.
Kennedy served as an assistant district attorney in two counties in Massachusetts, where he had more real-world experience with urgent and difficult problems of society.

I think both candidates have similar backgrounds. What they both lack is experience in office. It would have been nice if they had run for a lesser office and proved thenselves.

Surely those types of experience are excellent preparation for service in Congress."
Brian, utter baloney. If this expereince qualifies one for service in Congress, then there are dozens of other assistant DAs with greater experience, which by your oh-so-short yardstick, would represent even better candidates for the office.
So why did you write a letter for Kennedy...better expereince, no, more exereince..no, Opps there it is it, the name Kennedy. All he has going for him. You blew your own point!
And he thinks a drone killed OBL

Illogical logic. Then again look at Obama's experience as a community organizer. Only difference Obama did not live in Moms basement.
