Ted Kennedy is part of the over-the-hill gang and this last election was a last gasp that might very well be what the Democrat Party needs to kick him and his socialist lackey's to the curb....He's too old to groom another candidate the way they did Kerry.
I don't know who the young stars are in the Dem Party, but if they don't strike now, then they're being misled.
Hate to give them advice, though. (Go ahead and elect Howard Dean as Party Chair. :>)
Barak Obama, Harold Ford, and Evan Bayh are supposed to be part of the "new democrats" just like Bill Clinton was...but I am not going to be fooled by any of them.
