How viable is Maria Shriver as a political candidate?

I haven't posted much lately, but after watching Maria at todays Mass for her mother, I was really struck (again) by this woman's incredible presence and oratory skill. I haven't followed her much, but every time I see her I'm very impressed.

I'm sure she'll be forever burdened as being the wife of a sad excuse for an actor/governor, but does anyone know if she has political ambitions of her own. I'd love to see her try to dig my state out of the mess it's in.

1. The Kennedy legacy is so strong

... At least to me (baby boomer) as I see Jack and Jackie's only child, and RFK's sons, I also think about the Shriver's "kid".

I think anything's possible of a Kennedy. That's why all the sons of bitches are so afraid of them.
