You might be right. OTOH, having the nickname “The Swimmer” has not seemed to really hurt Ted Kennedy in any substantive way. He very nearly unseated a sitting president (Carter) at the Democrat Convention in 1980. The rules are different for Democrats, I grant you.

It’s why he never ran for President. With that kind of baggage one get elected via to a provincial post via brute force political machine, but as a national candidate it is non starter.
If Sarah had drowned somebody it would be a story for a year and she’d end up in prson. Bad, bad comparison.
