The author had me until he implied that the public is more conservative these days. Close, but incorrect in the implications. It is the liberals who have moved away from what the public believes, and the conservatives who have trailed not all that far behind.

As for Kennedy; he and Howard Dean define the party at the moment, and that is a fine thing as far as I'm concerned. So long as they're trying the same antics over and over again, I can concentrate on trying to keep my own Representative in check and harassing my pair of liberal wackos in the Senate.

Rush has it right. Kennedy is the gift that keeps on giving. He is such a loud mouth toad that he must cure some of the public of his brand of left wing politics. Also, he may have been in congress a long time, but I don't think he will make it to 100 like Strom, with his lifestyle.
