And a lot of white women have had some pretty hairy experiences with black men, and really do not want one in the WH. Just what I have observed.

How many is "a lot"? I don't know of any, so I find this statement to be rather odd.

HA! It’s happening even a bit sooner than I predicted: I guess the Kennedy clan wants to try to sink Shrillary in Florida and not wait for SuperTuesday:

Some children should just be seen and not heard.

Advice to Caroline: Keep your mouth shut, live the Kennedy La-la- land life, and watch out about comparing anyone to your father. History, good and bad will rear its head and bite you. Your old uncle Teddy will handle the battles between the Kennedys and Clintons. They both play the same dirty games.

I get so weary of the JFK adulation,a direct result of the Died Young Syndrome.

Do you remember Salieri in “Amadeus”?He bemoaned the fact that he had lived too long. If JFK had made it to his dotage he would just be another doddering old elder statesman,no more,no less.

And yes,I remember Fiddle and Faddle——God those years were something,weren’t they?

Had JFK lived he would have become a joke, just as Teddy has. He didn’t live long enough to become a joke.

What a god-awful life she had, until that Muarice came along. Treated he wonderfully. She deserved to be.

Shrillary is in a meltdown rage tonight, I guarantee it.

So are the Hillary supporters who are members of the Kennedy Center. I guarantee that!

This is going to get interesting.

Ted Kennedy Embraces Obama

Jan 27, 2008(The Politico) Rejecting a personal entreaty from President Bill Clinton, Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass.) plans to endorse Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) for president in a joint appearance on Monday, Democratic sources said.

The embrace provides a dramatic rocket for Obama to ride into the frantic, nationwide campaigning ahead of the space of huge Super Tuesday primaries on Feb. 5, the biggest day for nominating contests in U.S. history.

The announcement stunned Senate colleagues, who had expected Kennedy to remain neutral until the increasingly vitriolic nominating contest with Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) settled out.

“This is the biggest Democratic endorsement Obama could possibly get short of Bill Clinton,” said a high-level Democrat.

The Clinton campaign launched a last-ditch effort over the few days to stop Kennedy’s move, orchestrating a flood of phone calls to Kennedy from sources ranging from union chiefs to his Massachusetts constituents.

The former president also called Kennedy in a vain attempt to keep him out of the race, a source familiar with the conversation said.

During his two terms in the White House, President Clinton made repeated overtures to the Kennedy family. So the senator’s rejection of his wife is at least as embarrassing as her 28-point loss in the South Carolina primary on Saturday.

Kennedy is to appear with Obama at “Stand for Change” rally the campaign is holding at American University in Washington, D.C., at lunchtime on Monday, the sources said.

Word of Kennedy’s planned endorsement leaked the same day that his niece, Caroline Kennedy, endorsed Obama with a New York Times Op-Ed headlined, “A President Like My Father: Obama will inspire a new generation of Americans.”

The Kennedy endorsement is likely to give Obama a lift among Hispanic voters because of Kennedy’s passionate advocacy of immigration legislation. The Obama campaign, which lags far behind Clinton among Hispanic voters in national polls, is likely to prominently display the endorsements by both Kennedys in Latino communities.

The disclosure also comes the same weekend that the House’s highest-ranking Latino, California Rep. Xavier Becerra, also announced that he is backing Obama.

Obama was coy about the upcoming endorsement when ABC’s George Stephanopoulos asked him about it on “This Week.”

“I’ll let Ted Kennedy speak for himself,” Obama said. “And nobody does it better. But obviously, any of the Democratic candidates would love to have Ted Kennedy’s support. And we have certainly actively sought it.”

The Republican National Committee piled on, issuing a statement saying: “Senator Kennedy’s rejection of his friend and colleague is a stunning blow to Clinton’s campaign.”

Politico’s Ben Smith Carrie Budoff Brown, John F. Harris Gebe Martinez and Martin Kady II contributed to this report.

Per FoxNews tv, Kathleen Kennedy Townsend has just endorsed Shillary. Looks like a busy day for the Kennedy clan. They must be tired of not being newsworthy.
