Kennedy poised to endorse Obama
Key Democratic nod a setback for Clinton
By Susan Milligan, Globe Staff | January 28, 2008
WASHINGTON - Senator Barack Obama will collect the endorsement of Senator Edward M. Kennedy today, winning the support of a powerful icon of the liberal Democratic establishment as Obama challenges Senator Hillary Clinton before the crucial Super Tuesday showdown on Feb. 5.
Kennedy confidants said Massachusetts' senior senator will appear this morning with Obama and Kennedy's niece, Caroline Kennedy, at a rally at American University in Washington to announce his support. Their joint appearance will suggest Obama's claim to the mantle of generations of Kennedys, including Caroline's father, the late President Kennedy.
Kennedy said the senator from Illinois can "transcend race" and unite the country, a Kennedy associate told the Globe. Kennedy was also impressed by Obama's deep involvement last year in the bipartisan effort to craft legislation on immigration reform, a politically touchy subject the other presidential candidates avoided, the associate said.

I remember Ted working so hard to get Hillary on the Senate Arms Services Committee when she was first elected. It seemed at the time He was going to be at her side all the way to the White House. What happened?

With Teddy Boy, that would be “glug” as in, “glug, glug, glug! Ahh!”

According to an article in the Washington Post that I have since closed and don't have time to find again, Fat Teddy and Hillary had a falling out over the co-candidates' campaign practices and Bill's behavior. Hillary basically did to Teddy what she's doing to the DNC, if you get my drift.

He retrieved his FBI file?

Maybe Hillary wants Ted to take Obama for a drive to a bridge somewhere?

You see......the Clintons lie, and are not ethical. They have even committed crimes. Just like me!

It's too bad that Obama values Kennedy's endorsement.
To: metesky
Hitlery and Slick must have tried to upstage Kennedy and other long-time big wigs, and twist their party around as they see fit.

Yep,
Doane, Beal and Ames are ready (even though Digger Doane has been dead, lo these many years) and looking forward to saving money on formaldehyde. After all Teddy's been pickled for years...
