endorsed Clinton quite early on. Kathleen K. Townsend also endorsed very early, when they had no reason to think that anyone else would be a serious contender.
I think Caroline had absolutely no other reason than she believes what she said. Ted was offended by what the Clinton's said, but I also believe he sees that "Kennedy quality" in Barack.
I worked for Jack's election (I was 15 at the time) and loved Bobby dearly. It was a personal loss when they both were taken from us. Bobby's death hurt me even more, if that is possible.
I met Obama, back when he was running for IL Senate, at a rally on a Southern IL farm in Macoupin CO. I felt then that he was so like JFK and RFK--way before I ever heard anyone else make that comparison. I have watched him develop ever since. He has that indescribable quality that both Kennedys had-- which includes an ability to inspire and lead. Living during those times, I know how much that quality of leadership meant, and was needed. We need that kind of leader now. The Clintons have had their chance; now it is time for a NEW GENERATION of leadership. I am in Obama's corner all the way. He is what is needed for the future.
