This is not simply a "nut" article.

This is something very significant.

Kennedy's want power and want to exercise their Divine Right of Kings to rule America. The old King (Teddy) is long over due and overly drunk. Other than in Massachusetts, Democratic Clubs and on the media, He is a laughing stock

This generation of Kennedy's had it's Prince (JFK Jr. and it's appointed-annointed Dukes, Patrick, Wm Kennedy-Smith and others.)

Robert Jr. was always content to sit back, align himself with "worthy" causes, spend the family fortune and be "newsworthy" enough to get invited to all the "right' parties and therefore get la*d a lot. (Welcome to politics 101.) It's the Kennedy Way.

But now the Prince is dead, the Dukes are disgraced and in treatment, so the Kennedy's ran an in-family help wanted ad for a new front man, and since he was the only sober one around who hadn't raped anyone, he was chosen.

Bottom line, this is the start (actually, a continuation of the recent start) RFK Jr. elective political career.

Expect there to be a major push to get him into some office in 2008, possibly a Senate seat, but probably a congressional one. A vice-presidential run (in full public denial) is also not out of the question. (Remember JFK in 56 with Stevenson.)

This foray into political issues, as opposed to his prior radical environmental work, is a sign of a major change in direction for him.

Expect overtures to the Gay Wing of the DNC next. Remember, the Gays were quietly Kerry's earliest supporters and are 100% in the Hillary Camp. (It's a chance to elect one of their own.) I'm not attacking Gays here, but this is how the power politics game is played.

Next will be speeches for himself is he runs this year (?) but more importantly, speeches and fund raising for Dems everywhere. He will be building a power base.

RFK Jr is now on track for a presidential run in 2012 or 2616.
