Ted Kennedy endorsing Obama
Boston Globe ^ | 1/27/2008 | Susan Milligan

Ted Kennedy endorsing Obama By Susan Milligan Globe staff WASHINGTON -- Senator Edward M. Kennedy will endorse Barack Obama for president tomorrow, breaking his year-long neutrality to send a powerful signal of where the legendary Massachusetts Democrat sees the party going -- and who he thinks is best to lead it. Kennedy confidantes told the Globe today that the Bay State's senior senator will appear with Obama and Kennedy's niece, Caroline Kennedy, at a morning rally at American University in Washington tomorrow to announce his support. That will be a potentially significant boost for Obama as he heads into a series of critical primaries on Super Tuesday, Feb. 5. Kennedy believes Obama can ``transcend race'' and bring unity to 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 searched and could not find that this was posted.

The internal polls of the rats must be showing a disaster if the Toons run again as co presidents.

The Royal Kennedy’s have had a thin veneer of support for the bastard Rockefeller, Bill Clintoon.

The Toon’s uncontrolled tongue the past few weeks must have the elite liberals very upset.

First Kerry makes the break, then Caroline Kennedy and now Killer Ted joins them.

Thanks we now have two links. The Slimes owns the Globe, so the Globe article may have been the first.

That ad and the one where the Islamofascist kills himself with an ied in a Volkswagen and those outside the VW are safe are classics.

So now, both Massachusetts U.S. senators are endorsing Obama. It’ll be interesting to see if African-American Mass. Governor Deval “Coupe DeVal” Patrick, will also endorse him.

Maybe Obama will select McAinal as his running mate. They would be the perfect liberal team.

Obama needs something.

He's behind in every one of the states which poll on Super Tuesday, save his own state of Illinois.

We may be seeing the beginning of a break of the black voters with the elite whites like the Clintoons.

Hill had better clip Bill’s tongue and other parts of his worn out body and put him in a cage in her basement. His magical ability to lie and spin seems to be history.

Hillary will win the nomination without much trouble. The question is who wins the general if Blacks stay home and don’t vote for her and conservatives stay home and don’t vote for McInsne?

Deval Patrick actually endorsed Obama way back in October. Video is here.
