Bobby Kennedy's wife backs Barack,


Over these past few years, I've watched Senator Obama inspire Americans from all walks of life to believe in real change and a new sense of hope and possibility. He's a magnetic force, drawing the nation together for the common good and galvanizing us all to help shape our country's future.

3. RFK Jr is for Clinton.
After he endorsed Clinton, his mother endorsed Obama.

5. I think I need to
make a spreadsheet to keep these Kennedy endorsements straight.

7. And I have no problem with Kennedy endorsements all over the place.
To me, it is a tough decision.

11. Many people have speculated that since RFK Jr would be high
on a list of replacements if Clinton's seat becomes empty that it may have been a factor in his endorsement decision.

10. Teddy Kennedy is pulling out all stops in his vengeance against the Clintons
he's been around the Senate for 45 years - not only does he have a big family to
call on, he's got 45 years worth of current and retired politicians to call up
and pull in favors he did for them. And they're all showing up.

So for his petty vindictiveness Edwards was pushed aside?

And he's supporting a guy who has one year in the senate and running around saying he has great foreign policy experience? What's wrong with this picture.

And he has Caroline Kennedy who was 5 years old when JFK died , in television
ads saying Obama reminds her of her father?

I'm serious. Something is very very wrong with this picture and our political
system.
