CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The two sons of Sen. Edward M. Kennedy strode into the lobby of the Omni hotel on Tuesday morning and were besieged by delegates, reporters, and well-wishers. Photos were taken, sound bites recorded, and a flurry of handshakes exchanged.
“It’s like he’s still in Congress,” Ted Jr. quipped as he waited for his brother, Patrick, a former US representative from Rhode Island.
The sons arrived in Charlotte for an afternoon reception for the Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the United States Senate, which is being built at the University of Massachusetts Boston, and to attend a video tribute to their father later Tuesday during the opening night of the Democratic National Convention. Joseph Kennedy III, candidate for Congress form Massachusetts, will introduce the video.
The video, in part, would replay some of Kennedy’s debate performance against Mitt Romney in their 1994 Senate race, and resurrect issues -- economic and social -- that characterized Democratic differences with Romney both then and now.

I wonder if Mary-Jo’s name will come up?
Boy is it going to be funny to read this in about an hour
burp...
Mary Jo is unavailable for comment
I seem to remember (was it in the ‘70’s?) Ted Kennedy pushing HMO’s as a solution to America’s health care problems....
Tell me, why is he a "former US representative," Junior?
The swimmer left her to die. Mary Jo Kopechne’s death kept him from being President.

How did they make it all the way to Charlotte without at least one of them getting killed? Maybe they took the train. Obviously they didn’t drive a car, fly a plane or ski there. I’ve never heard of a Kennedy getting killed in any kind of a train accident.
Yet.
What a legacy!
His cousin, if I’m not mistaken, is in prison for rape and murder.
His father was a murderer, marital cheat, sexual predator, liar, and a perjurer.
His uncle was a marital cheat, sexual predator, and an overall terrible president.
His other uncle was a marital cheat, sexual predator, and was involved in Marilyn Monroe’s murder.
His grandfather got his millions from running whorehouse, illegal booze, and gambling.
What a legacy to be proud of. Kinda’ brings a tear to my eye!
I recall a waitress sandwich with a side order of thighs. ;-)
What no medium to channel Teddy’s spirit from hell? Consider the freak show the DNC is, you figure they would have a medium.
You forgot Old Joe was also a Nazi sympathizer.
Beeeeeelchchchchch!!!! Puuuuuuuuuke!!!Where all da white women at? Brrrrrrrrruuuump!!
Dad could swim like a fish.
Well, Ted Jr., you guys get your dead voters to vote, why not get your dead senators to... senate.
“Senator Kennedy, why do you want to be President” ?
“Er ah, well er a, you see it’s um, er a is it hot in here” ?
