Gracious words from a gracious man. Since Kennedy seems to think of him as bearer of the flame, it makes sense that he would speak for Kennedy. (Besides, if he'd asked Hillary, she'd just have talked about herself and how picked on she was..)

If superdelegates let the Clinton's steal this, America will have lost a treasure necessary for our time. Swift courage and integrity are required to halt this incremental evil.

The torch has been passed.
God bless America.

Keep us safe from the Griffins and Wolfsons, the Roves, the Bushes, the Clintons.

Wesleyan could not have lost either way. Senator Kennedy's class of orators is of the tiniest demographic. Do him proud Barack.

The students at Wesleyan will get a great speech from Ted's perfect substitute. Just another example of the class act that Barack Obama is!

Go Obama 08/12!

FIRST READ should change its name to LAST READ since it averages 1 update every 2 hours and is usually 1 hour to 1 day behind all current political news.

McCain just rejected Hagee's endorsement! What took him so long? Will MSNBC run a 1 hour special called "Hagee and McCain" and why the Maverick spent an entire year trying to associate himself with this guy after calling guys like him and Falwell "agents of intolerance"?

Sick of corruption, sick of the Clintons — Thu, 22 May 2008 20:00:35 GMT

I wonder if Queen Hillary will ask the supers to overturn Kennedy's decision?

Obama/Selebius in 2008. Integrity matters and the Clintons have none.

Just one more example of Senator Kennedy passing the torch.

The back pages of the Boston Herald are full of great stories about the Celtics and Red Sox.

The front pages are an entirely different matter.

What I want more than anything is to have Ted Kennedy give a speech at the Convention this August.

He has had a remarkable career as a legislator and there is much he can pass on to a new generation.

Wow...a gracious leader...who'd a thunk it?

BTW - Even though Mr. Kennedy endorsed Mr. Obama, don't you think that if Clinton was THE nominee (as I recall, she carried MA, right?) he would have asked her?

Hmmmm....

Let Obama not speak about politics to this graduating class. May it be about plans for the future and what the students can contribute. Dream lofty goals and plan for great things, but know there are mundane objects in your path that must be dealt with.

Devil's advocate:
What if Mr. Ted Kennedy is faking a cancer just to generate publicity and hype for BO? All Americans have a soft spot in their hearts to fall for this.

Hillary08 — Thu, 22 May 2008 20:08:13 GMT

and the pay back starts.He has quite a list of old time congress people to pay back. If he is allowed to hi jack this election it will be a sad day in America but it wont last cause he wont win in Nov.Arragance isnt the needed point for White House and thats all he has. He will read a mesmerizing speech written for him as usual and he will do another grammy moment and his people will swoon the country will be amazed. Reading a grammy moment isnt what determins presidency either. Sorry Obama good try and you can fool some people sometime not all people all time.I am glad there is a large amount of older ones like me that remember others tried your style and what happened to them. You and your wife have told us how good you are at low Chicago politics and yes I have seen you play away at it but our country is to important to give to someone we dont know.
