14. Can I elucidate? Yes, I can, but I won't. Google him.
The last time I "elucidated" on Ted Kennedy a good sized sub-thread was removed even though everything I posted was true - with links.

8. Please don't give her that much credit...
I'm sure she's a nice person and all, and if she got the nomination I would vote for her without complaint, but she is no Ted Kennedy. Maybe if she was in her sixth term or so and not her first, then you'd have a point. Until then though, she's a cub in the shadow of the lion.

13. What great things has she done in the Senate? Why does the media never ask her surrogates this?
Or her this?? Inquiring minds want to know.

19. In fact when asked for her accomplishment
she cites KENNEDY'S S-CHIP bill.

Kennedy has worked on nearly every major major progressive piece of legislation in 4 decades. HRC has done very little in comparison.

27. Yes and that is complementary
When you can't site anything exceptional, you shouldn't use great.

18. Edward Kennedy voted against the IWR.
And against the recent thing that enables Bush against Iran.

HRC didn't, so I'm not calling her a "Great Senator" yet.

22. 'Scuse me, but I know Ted Kennedy...
And she's no Ted Kennedy.

He's a genuine old fashioned Democrat.
She's a genuine old fashioned Republican.
