Based on the Kennedy/60s throughback and endorsement I'm betting Obama won't make it past the California primary due to the Kennedy curse.

I don't know if the Kennedy endorsement does anything. I know it raised a bucketful of money for the Republicans. I read these posts, and I skimmed through the Sullivan article. I live in Iowa and I have asked this question for 11 months without an answer: name 5 things Obama wants to do as POTUS?
Now, you cannot use these terms: hope, cooperation, politics of division,or new. Most supporters cannot state his position on any concrete issue. Do me a favor. Go read up on Jimmy Carter's campaign and Presidency. You'll need the point of reference.

I have held out for a long time.  I ardently supported JOE BIDEN until he withdrew from the race.  At one point during the Nevada debate, when a heckler was interrupting the questioning, I thought I would support HILLARY CLINTON because she recovered magnificently when she received the first question immediately after the heckler.  But ...

I believe that TED KENNEDY made his decision with the full knowledge that many undecided Democrats were waiting on it.  I trust that he took this responsibility seriously.  

I am going to trust in BARACK OBAMA because, as Samuel Johnson once said, "It is better to suffer wrong than to do it, and happier to be sometimes cheated than not to trust."

OBAMA '08

Ok....

Here are my thoughts...

I am a young wife/stay at home mother of 2 and for the first time in my life it is VERY important to me who is elected our next President. These are a few of my thoughts and questions if anyone cares.

Change is definitely in the air. We have a woman as well as a African American fighting (verbally LOL) for the chance to become our next President. Even though I call myself a democrat I have to admit I am a little scared with how liberal our country is becoming. I am finding that I want values and tradition the older I get. When I hear the Kennedy name that is what it means to me, values and tradition. I am not a Obama supporter  in fact I am pushing for Hillary, but I have to admit its because of Bill. I wish we could have Bill back but Hilary is the closest we will ever get. One of my main concerns is how will the democratic candidate if elected president keep tradition and values in our ever changing country as well as change us for the new to become a better and well respected nation? How will the next President save my neighborhood for the foreclosure mess that it is infested with? How will you Mr. or Mrs. President pull our troops out and prove that Iraq is better off now than it was before? Even though this a mess created by Bush it will now be your responsibility and you cant just blame the last guy, you have to fix it. I wish America could get a detailed plan on these issues not just a quick 5 sentence answer on how it would go. I guess that's the gamble.... Lets see who SELLS us the best game.

Thanks for your time

One of the underlying Facts of this Endorsement today, was Ted Kennedy knocking down, Point by Point, everything the Clinton's had tried to distort about Barack's record.Also lost in this Endorsement is the Cover it gives to Mainstream Democrat's to Endorse Barack also.Look for more to come onboard real soon.

I'm thinking some watchtomuchfoxnewsinRochester. Stop Whining & go to Clinton News Network's political blog, i'm sure it's All Hail Hillary. Some of You Real Democrat's as You like to call yourselves, should be ashamed to belittle Ted Kennedy for voicing his support.He is the Last True symbol of Liberalism as We know it.

Robert Kennedy's children endorsed Hillary Clinton before the South Carolina Primary.  What will be interesting to watch is who will endorse her before  Super Tuesday.

Will somebody Listen to Reason  (uhm, Thanks Reason, well said! ;-))  

So is not Ted kenney the establishment and what is wrong with washington? If Obama gets elected wouldn't it be more of the same with him then campaigning for Kerry and Kennedy? Both Kerry and Kennedy are good for nothing and non achievers of the democratic party. No wonder they support Obama - a man with no ideas.

Mr. Obama is falling into the same traps that befall all the “anointed ones” of the Democractic Establishment machine. How can one call for “change” while buying in wholesale to the Dem establishment fat cats. It’s sad but true. This is not change. This is more of the same, but worse.
As for the Obama camp. Let me get this straight...you don't want a Clinton dynasty but you have no problems seeking support from the Kennedy dynasty? Yes lets hae a country of alchoholics and smokers with Ted Kennedy and Barack Hussein Obama.
This is whats wrong with this democratic party, nostalgia wishing for someone to be and act like what we long for from the past.So lets see last week Barack was MLK, this week he is JFK and next week he is Mother Theresa...wait I guess it depends on what state he is going to be in.

I am switching my vote to republicans. Democrats are always longing for their past leaders instead of recognizing the ones they have now on their own merits. You don’t hear republicans say, oh he is our new Ronald Reagan.

It's not about Ted or Patrick Kennedy's endorsement. It's about Caroline Kennedy's endorsement...Caroline a true American treasure...

let's get back to the issues that matter, people, please MSNBC try to focus on what's imortant in our lives rather than you love fest for O'bama and every positive tidbit you can come up with on his behalf...



great article out today for those who can face the trugh...


First, those who don’t want to nominate Hillary Clinton because they don’t want to return to the nastiness of the 1990s — a sizable group, at least in the punditocracy — are deluding themselves. Any Democrat who makes it to the White House can expect the same treatment: an unending procession of wild charges and fake scandals, dutifully given credence by major media organizations that somehow can’t bring themselves to declare the accusations unequivocally false (at least not on Page 1).

The point is that while there are valid reasons one might support Mr. Obama over Mrs. Clinton, the desire to avoid unpleasantness isn’t one of them.

Second, the policy proposals candidates run on matter.

I have colleagues who tell me that Mr. Obama’s rejection of health insurance mandates — which are an essential element of any workable plan for universal coverage — doesn’t really matter, because by the time health care reform gets through Congress it will be very different from the president’s initial proposal anyway. But this misses the lesson of the earlier Clinton failure: if the next president doesn’t arrive with a plan that is broadly workable in outline, by the time the thing gets fixed the window of opportunity may well have passed.

My sense is that the fight for the Democratic nomination has gotten terribly off track. The blame is widely shared. Yes, Bill Clinton has been somewhat boorish (though I can’t make sense of the claims that he’s somehow breaking unwritten rules, which seem to have been newly created for the occasion). But many Obama supporters also seem far too ready to demonize their opponents.

What the Democrats should do is get back to talking about issues — a focus on issues has been the great contribution of John Edwards to this campaign — and about who is best prepared to push their agenda forward. Otherwise, even if a Democrat wins the general election, it will be 1992 all over again. And that would be a bad thing.

Hurrah
Obama has big Kennedy's endorsement. What an achievement. All you Obama's fanatics that our problems go beyond oration. Obama who has consistently criticized the establishment was not hesitant to pickup an endorsement from a powerful establishment and status quo. In the mean time while you Chris Mattews keeps distorting the truth about how race became a factor in this pimary, we the viewers saw and can remember how it all started. It was you Chris Mattews while anchoring in New Hampshire told your viewers right after the results were announced that you believed that race played a role in Clinton's victory; simply because you believed (you did not see) that the white voters who promised to vote for Obama in your exit polling went behind the curtains and voted for Clinton simply because she was white. At the this you made such a costly statement which you know will cause so much ranchor and division, you had not seen the demographics of voters in that race. Meanwhile, you did not relent at that, you picked up the next day in your talk show, so did all your colleagues. At that point, we your viewers knew that you were doing the biddings of your party, the republicans. You steered up the pot with a fictitious accusation and you and your colleague have cleverly covered up your tracks and shifted the blame to Bill Clinton who merely observed what was going and regretted that because of what you were doing it was increasingly difficult for the candidates to talk to the electorate on the issues that matter most to them; you constantly bombereded their airways with tabloid quality issues while preventing them to sieve the facts from fiction on issues that matter most to them. You refused us to learn specifics on where Obama stands on issues that face the fabric and the integrity of the average American. Most of us are blacks, but for God's sake, you have not allowed to examine solutions that face us that go beyond race. Ted Kennedy stood up there and use same biased harsh word that you the press purported that he chided the Clinton's about. The bottom line while oration is great, while oration may remind Ms Caroline Kennedy of her late father, oration alone will not salvage the indepth problems facing the present day America, from deficits, to the economy, to the detioration of quality of life,, to the international mess we are in  now. Irrespective, of what negative views you may have about the Clintons, there is no denying the fact that they both have been tested and vested in these fronts. President JF Kennedy may have been a great orator without experience, the fact remains that he was not faced with the problems we face today. While Caroline may indicate that it is time to change leadership of this nation with inexperienced leaders, she should remember that Clinton is a woman, a change from what we have always known- a male dominated political arena. Beyond this, we must not hang the future of this nation in the hands of someone who is yet to convince us of his experience or give us specifics as to how he will begin to solve our problems. Be not confused, history is being made with either of them in the front line, but remember that experience and fairness are very important. It is impossible for a CEO who sees his business going downhill will hand over the future of that business to an inexperienced manager. Finally, remember, you may what to label the Clintons with any thing you choose to, you know the last one that will ever stick is RACISM. They have demonstrated the commitment to equality at all levels time and time again.
Thanks for reading.
From an african american whose motor is "fairness and truth"

To Reason - So very well put!

eric, si, ny ...
You don't seem to get it .. Barack doesn't hate anybody ... that's the news!  We are tired of the hatefulness and bickering.  We are happy to hear a calm, sound voice which speaks of a hopeful future without rancor.  We are happy to hear someone say
"there are no sides ... only one America".  So when you respond with your opinion spouting the hate word, it is obvious why you aren't ready for a positive message.

Wow, endorsed by Ted Kennedy.  Now isn't that special.
Should get Obama far with that, just like it did for Kerry in 2004.  How soon we all forget.

Whenever I stop and consider the campaign for the democratic nomination for President and the Hillary campaign specifically in historical terms, I am not reminded of her as the first lady campaigning for the Presidency.
Instead, I am reminded of Bob Dole.
The party stalwart.
The man who waited for "his turn" to carry the party banner.
This is the Hillary campaign.
Its entire premise seems based upon a deep sense of entitlement to the nomination and indeed the office.
Entitled because she devoted her life to being on the assistant side of a 2 for 1.
Entitled because it is her turn and how dare this other guy, who is the same age as Bill was when he ran in '92 dare to deny her ascendancy.
Entitled because of her gender and how powerful it is for so many ladies in our society who have waited & dreamed of a time when another could actually have a real shot at the job, only to be faced with the reality of the candidates and being torn between their heart with Hillary and their heads & very soul with Barack who reminds them of their hopes & dreams shot dead.
Twice.
It matters not if you are a Hillary or Obama; lover, basher, hater or nurturer.
What matters in the end.
In the final analysis.
Is who do we entrust the Office of President of the United States?
For me, the answer is found in not with the person I agree with most or who is most entitled.
Or with the person who is most like me.
Or who, walk, talks, acts, is educated or has a history like mine.
The answer, for me is found in which candidate has the; courage, confidence, candor & commitment to do the very best for every citizen in protecting our national security and our rights as citizens of this great nation as best as they know how every day and in every way.
That candidate for me is Barack Obama.

I have been a registered democrat since I cast my first vote in Illinois in 1978. I have lived in Georgia for the last 21 years. I respect Ted Kennedy (even though I don't always agree with all of his ideas) and truly believe that his endorsement means alot to ANY DEMOCRAT!!!! Obama SHOULD BE THE CANDIDATE THAT AMERICA EMBRACES......as a truly UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.......Partisanship should end on January 20, 2009.....For everyone's interest!!!

This an amazing and HUGE endorsement for Obama!!!!! The Kennedy's are the most respectful & influential political family in the history of our nation and anyone who says otherwise does not know our nation's great history. This endorsement is the biggest so far for Obama (Oprah a close 2nd) given the outreach he needs now.. My large group of friends here in Los Angeles, CA will be voting OBAMA next tuesday and expect an upset out here in the west! OBAMA is on fire out here and i look fwd to super tuesday..

OBAMA 08!!!!!!!!!

Clinton got the NY Times endorsement and that of the governor and both senators from Florida. Not much play of that in first read.

OK-a great endorsement for Obama BUT...the family of RFK supports Hillary and let's not forget that Ted has a bit of a crdibility problem outside the northeast which could cause problems for Obama in the long run. Finaly, Why isn't someone talking about the arrest of Rezko, the "slum lord" that is a big Obama supporter?  If this kind of high profile supporter of Clinton's had been arrested this would have been major headlines and some of the talking heads on cable such as Chris Matthews would have drooled while bashing "the Clintons." Where is the discussion on Obama? Come on, if we are going to disect every move of one candidate then why not do it for all of them? The media is so afraid of being called racist if they take him on that they are paralized. SAD!

I have no issues with the Clintons,and if Hillary gets it in the end I will vote for her, but I believe
it's a new day,and we need Obama to lead the way.

I have no issues with the Clintons,and if Hillary gets it in the end I will vote for her, but I believe
it's a new day,and we need Obama to lead the way.

Just so all the Clinton whiners be quiet the reason there arn't any articles about her NY times endorsement is because it's her home town paper. The endorsement is huge because it's from the biggest name in democratic party, it would be like a republican getting the endorsement of Reagan.

thank you Todd, New York, NY for posting that link to the Atlantic article.  Well written, well reasoned.  I do hope the U.S. will realize and vote accordingly.  My fear?  They won't

Hurrah

From an african american whose motor is "fairness and truth"

I listened to both Ted Kennedy's and Obama's speeches today.  Sounded to me like a high school pep rally.  What's with this drawl Obama's been using lately?  It was really annoying me.  (If you think I am making this up, listen to it for yourself--words such as "Kennedy," "liberty," etc.) And this is the first time I heard Obama talk about visiting his father's village after his father's death where his grandmother took out a stack of letters his father had written to colleges and universities in the US--does it not seem odd to anyone else that if he send these letters to the US, why would his mother have them? Look, I do think it's powerful imagery, if true, that his father was able to come to the US to study because he was given a grant established by the Kennedy foundation--and it was appropriate for him to use this in this speech, especially while accepting the endorsements from the one faction of the Kennedy family. Yes, he give a great speech, but I am not swayed by that--I am supporting Hillary, who may not be the best speech-giver, but who will, I think, end up being the better president right now.

Kennedy's endorsement to Obama is further evidence that Obama himself is nothing more than a status quo SELLOUT! I mean, this guy would do anything to become president, even if he has to kiss up to the corrupt Kennedy family. Just one more example to vote for Edwards come Super Tuesday.  

I thought Obama was trying to escape the 'Poltics of old,' and now he seems to be eager to embrace it?

I don't know why anyone'd want Ted K.'s endorsement, or John Kerry's either.

Beside helping the race issue in the 1960s, what else did John Kennedy do that was so great that he should be treated like a god? I know he almost got us in a war with Russia. I don't understand all the praise for him. If obama wins the dem. choice, I will vote republican. And it is not a race thing.

Is it to much to ask for fairness and neutrality in the media (especially @ MSNBC)

Banner headline on msnbc.com: "Kennedy Clan backs Obama"

This is at best, MISLEADING given that RFK's children have openly declared support for Sebnator Clinton.

What is going on?????????  It is sad that my friends and I (all uncommitted) now view Fox News as being more neutral than MSNBC in reporting the Democratic race.  MSNBC journalists are certainly entitled to support whoever they choose to but please have the decency to declare your not-so-veiled support of Senator Obama and stop patronizing the voting public!

YOU FOOLS, Ted Kennedy = Status quo. He's the one who calls the shots in the DEM party. He's NOT saying to Barack "Atta boy", he's saying "I CAN get you the nomination QUICKLY, I.E the SUPERDELEGATES" in exchange for your administration, IT'S ALL BUSSINESS AS USUAL, IT'S THE OLD QUID PRO QUO. You just SOLD your (POLITICAL) soul to the devil. Now, the party OWNS you, Barack, and you OWE them. YOU could've change, once and for all, the (WASHINGTON'S) rules but I guess you were better than that. What a shame, what a shame....INDEED.

Obama is as phoney as everyone else in Washington D.C.
I just wish everyone in the media would see this, Please I am begging you to stop shoving Obama down our thoarts.  I no longer watch morning joe way over the top on being bais. But what should we expect when Mika dad works for Obama.  
This type of media does not work , take a good look at Fox and see how well their doing. Well msnbc will be next. I used to think for the most part you were good but, not anymore. I can't even watch countdown anymore. SO SAD

MONICA L MUST REALLY BE JERRY OR SEIRRA. Which means they have know idea on what there talking about.

Here ya go again about Oboma. The media is on Obomas side and I have said this from the beginning. You can't read anything about Hillary's endorsements because they will not put it out there. I will never vote for Oboma because the media is trying to make me.
The more I think about it that might be why they are doing it. Hillary can win in 2008 and Oboma can't and we will have 4 more years of GOP

Whoever is reading this...I see you read this blogs.  Well, I don't mind if you choose not to post my blog, but I commend you for changing your earlier banner headline from "Kennedy Clan Backs Obama" to "kennedys back Obama" (as of 5.22p.m.)  

I suppose MSNBC will soon blame that earlier misleading headline on President Clinton or Senator Clinton or her campaign!!!

YOU FOOLS, Ted Kennedy = Status quo. He's the one who calls the shots in the DEM party.

I'm really intrigued that anyone who supports the Clintons could seriously level "hypocrisy" accusations against Obama.  

http://www.slate.com/id/2182938/

Here's a good exercise for those of you on the Left incapable of even contemplating logic:  Try to refute what Hitchens has written without relying on ad hominem attacks (i.e. address his points on their relative merits).

The younger generation is behind Obama.  The rest of you should get out of the way and let some new ideas in, specifically you angry old hags obsessed with the politics of penis envy.  Get out of the way and let human beings (read: anyone but the Clintons) have a shot at it.

Why there is no BIG article on Former Maryland Lt. Gov. Kathleen Kennedy Townsend endorsed Hillary? Or it is not good news for Obama? Obama  can make show out of anything.
"While I admire Sen. Obama greatly, I have known Hillary Clinton for over 25 years and have seen firsthand how she gets results. As a woman, leader and person of deep convictions, I believe Hillary Clinton would make the best possible choice for president."
She added that her brother Bobby and sister Kerry were also backing Clinton.
I guess by logic of Obama supporters, it is
Blow to Obama Face
Obama greatest nightmare

It is all falling apart for Team Clinton. How embarrassing. "The Anointed One", "The Inevitable", "The Chosen One", is getting steamrolled by a political newbie. And how is Obama doing it. By playing fair, being above board, and running a clean campaign. In other words, doing everything Team Clinton is not. Sure Obama has a few, shall we say, "incidents" in his background. But it's hard for Team Clinton to rail against any one corruption in Obama's past without bringing up a hundred corruptions from the Clinton's past. We're to believe that we should overlook all the Clinton misdeeds for one Obama misdeed? Hard to comprehend. Team Clinton has won two small states by exceedingly small margins. This from a candidate that was to have this all wrapped up in a neat little package by this point in time. The realization of this must be very hard on Hillary, and must put Bill into a rage. Too bad.

New York's National Organization for Women released this statement:

“Women have just experienced the ultimate betrayal. Senator Kennedy’s endorsement of Hillary Clinton’s opponent in the Democratic presidential primary campaign has really hit women hard. Women have forgiven Kennedy, stuck up for him, stood by him, hushed the fact that he was late in his support of Title IX, the ERA, the Family Leave and Medical Act to name a few. Women have buried their anger that his support for the compromises in No Child Left Behind and the Medicare bogus drug benefit brought us the passage of these flawed bills. We have thanked him for his ardent support of many civil rights bills, BUT women are always waiting in the wings.

“And now the greatest betrayal! We are repaid with his abandonment! He’s picked the new guy over us. He’s joined the list of progressive white men who can’t or won’t handle the prospect of a woman president who is Hillary Clinton (they will of course say they support a woman president, just not “this” one).
----
Many of my white female friends are angry because they see resistance by the white male establishment which "will do anything to not let a female beat them at their game".

I say scrap this game

I hate to say it...but HITLERY Clinton will win the primary and win the general election...the Bush/Clinton dynasty will continue and we as a society will be closer to a NEW WORLD ORDER...the days will soon be here when RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) chips are installed in EVERY human on earth and we become a ca$hless robotic society with big brother watching over EVERYTHING we do...GPS is in our vehicles,on kids watches and school bags now...it is also being put in the arms of senile nursing home patients and the Mexican Department of Security has put these RFID chips in 150 top officals for clearance entrance into classified areas of government buildings...the time is closer then most think,that we as a society will be a ONE world government...ONE centralized bank...ONE world police force and rule of law...and NOT one freedom..."They" will control EVERYTHING!

Senator Ted Kennedy's endorsement is a huge boost for Obama's campaign.  Face it, the Clinton's are in the past and we are looking toward the future without Billary politics. Here comes OBAMA!!!!

so much heat, so little light

Just the other night, Obama said that this election  is about “The Past Versus the Future”. Today, he embraced the endorsement of Ted Kennedy. So, on which side he is on?

Ted Kennedy supported Kerry in 2004 and I am expecting a similar result.

By the way, did they sang "Bridge over Troubled waters"?

Noticed that none of the Hillary lovers had anything bad to say about Caroline Kennedy's endorsement. I voted for Bill Clinton both times, but after his recent behavior, all I can say is "you reap what you sow....

The agent of change in the dim party sure spends a lot of time with the loser left of the party

Obama folks lets not count your chickens before they hatch.  This fight has just begun.

EDWARDS 08

I admit the Kennedy name is big Democratic politics and tied with many historical points of reference.  If Barack Obama is truly the candidate of change he would have played the Kennedy endorsment differently.  It kept going through my mind that Ted Kennedy is the epitome of the old guard establishment.  Granted Ted has a lot of power in the party but I think Obama should have graciously accepted the support but not have done so in the manner that he did.  I felt like I was watching Obama sell out.

i have always been dedicated to channel 4 news, i truly respected tom brokaw, and watched him faithfully
every night..i do still watch brian williams, he filled tom's shoes very smoothly, but to be honest after watching tim russert tonight with brian, i believe i see a touch of cnn tv brainwashing drama..
he is obviously endorsing obama which is fine...but
please..don't be so dramatic..!..he made it his usual
opinion SPELLED OUT CLEARLY...with kennedy giving
obama his endorsement hillary might as well throw in
the towel..give me a break..i am tired of this daily
he said-she said politics...america and our media is
out of control...i don't think i could last until
november watching this three ring circus..you call this unity?
