Reply #113: Chris Matthews just said

[ErinBerin84]

that when (him or his brother? I couldn't hear) had a diabetes scare last year, Ted Kennedy called him and started naming all of his relatives who are dealing with diabetes, and reassuring him. MSNBC coverage has been good so far. Lots of personal stories. Everyone seems really shaken up. Oh god, Chris just said that Ted helped get "white people" to vote for Obama before the Virginia and DC primaries. Wasn't the endorsement before Feb 5th, and everyone wrote it off when he didn't win Mass? I really hope they focus on Ted and don't try and talk too much about the "campaign effect".

edited: Chris has diabetes, thanks for those who responded. I have heard that before, but I completely forgot.
