He did give a very good speech at the convention dispite being completely hammered. He probably challenged because he was the only Kennedy brother who hadn't tried to run up until that point. Remember, all about tradition. He also is the only brother not to have been murdered in some way.

Arrogance, vanity, pride, sense of superiority, inflated ego, his belief he was entitled to the Presidency.  How the mighty have fallen.

And those traits are different than any other politician how?
