Disagree. I think her ego and lust for power are too strong. In this respect this makes her more of a man than Teddy Kennedy, who chickened out of future presidential races after due reflection on what happened to his older brothers.

Ted Kennedy ran for President in 1980. He lost to Carter! Seems like he was thinking of another run in '84.

And Teddy is the one who would deserve it!

In 1969, after Bobby was killed, Teddy was barely over the minimum age to be elected President, so it isn't surprising that he didn't make a bid for the nomination then. By 1972 Mary Jo Kopechne was dead...and it was too recent for people to pretend Chappaquiddick never happened. I'm not sure if he gave any serious thought to running in 1976 (when he was still only 44).
