The Kennedy-Obama bond goes primetime

Caroline's endorsement means more to me than Ted's - though not to slight Ted - but to hear her speak and believe - that is beautiful. In the end, this choice is about Americans and how they want to go forward - dejected or uplifted, passive or motivated.

Whatever Caroline does, it does not create a stir among those who haven't the slightest idea of who JFK was. She will only be confusing them. Better leave the drama to uncle Ted who is better known nowadays among voters than JFK. Or is her public exposure a precursor of political greatness long in hibernation in the JFKennedy family? Is she finally dipping her finger into politics? At the urging of Ted? Ted is chronologically on the wane. Caroline is his worthy successor. Is that the hidden agenda behind Caroline's TV spot? She is using her dad's forgotten past to project her name into the political stream. Talk about self-interest. And why not? Hillary is using Bill. So, on with the family vs. family show, with the latest character in the cast - Caroline Schlossberg! ( for what elective post?). Watch out for the next TV spot from her. Naturally.

Getting endorsed by a nationally divisive character like Ted may turn off more independents to Obama than he will gain from New England Democrats. He needs more votes from the independents than suport from the democrats, the independents hold the balance of power in the democratic election.

Sen. Ted Kennedy "on the wane?" (Previous comment.)

Like they said in "The Wizard of Oz": "Imposserous!"

With his excellent Garrison Keillor hairstyle and his baritone bravura, the senior senator from Massachusetts might even pull some Hubert Humphrey Democrats into his column from halfway across the country.

Senator Ted on the wane?

Au contraire, nos amis de l'Angleterre Nouvelle! Indeed, it can be safely postulated that every pundit and news talk show host knows--whether he or she will acknowledge it or not--that when Sen. Kennedy intones his ringing endorsement for Barack Obama out there in the mighty jungle of national politics, "the lion roars tonight."

So those who support other worthy Democrats such as the only candidate to receive an undergraduate education in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Hillary Clinton, or the only candidate to specifically emulate Sen. Robert Kennedy in developing his campaign outlook, our John Edwards from down here in North Carolina, will simply have to proclaim their support and loyalty with equal fervor if of course that is possible.

And if the Democratic Convention gets knotted up out in Denver and can't settle on a winner, they should turn to Kennedy or Kerry to pick up the fight and carry it forward on into the fall campaign.

Kennedy slapped Clinton in the face, Massachuetts slapped him back.
