- wolfegh, on 01/27/2008, -25/+200This endorsement is HUGE. The Democratic establishment is finally on board with Obama. Thank you, thank you, thank you Sen. Kennedy.
- Zephkiel, on 01/27/2008, -18/+131This is incredible! Kennedy's been on the Senate since 1962; so much for Clinton being the experience candidate!
- rbdixon, on 01/27/2008, -7/+94I knew Obama would capture the endorsements of the Democratic elite; he represents the core virtues of the Democratic party far better than Clinton does.
- cg4et, on 01/27/2008, -5/+92Bill Clinton has to hate all of this talk about how much Obama is like JFK. He was always the one who wanted to be seen as the new Kennedy. Unfortunately his own actions will forever tarnish his reputation and diminish his legacy.
- skoubydoo, on 01/27/2008, -13/+88Great news! This, along with Caroline Kennedy's endorsement, will help portray Obama as the new JFK-like figure of the democratic party.
- inactive, on 01/27/2008, -5/+75Considering just how big of a figure Ted Kennedy is in the Democratic party, and considering his supposed friendship with the Clintons, this endorsement is actually pretty damn big.
- economyisland, on 01/27/2008, -12/+78hopefully the media publicizes the kennedy endorsements, could be crucial in gaining more of the baby boomer vote.
- DigitalD, on 01/27/2008, -10/+67Fired Up! Ready To Go!
- Indyanna, on 01/27/2008, -4/+58Oooo - Hillary's gonna be livid.
- RobbieS, on 01/27/2008, -6/+48This is pretty big. That only leaves one major Dem endorsement on the table: Al Gore. I don't think he'll endorse either, because he really has built a great name for himself at this time, and if he chose sides, he may lose some of that. But he still has to be considered a factor.
- cg4et, on 01/27/2008, -8/+47I think we might see another parade of these high-profile endorsements. Super delegates will matter this year. This is a big one. Paging Senators Boxer and Feingold!
- inactive, on 01/27/2008, -36/+75Obama '08.
Anyone that thinks voting for Ron Paul is a good idea is a sheep and a fool. Wake up. - elkram, on 01/27/2008, -4/+36I hope we get to see Bill's response when a reporter asks him about Teddy K.'s endorsement of Obama. He's liable to have a coniption fit!
- zioxide, on 01/27/2008, -4/+32No, that was Caroline Kennedy, daughter of the former President JFK.
This is Senator Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts. - wentwj, on 01/27/2008, -3/+31I'm fine with the people who are voting for Ron Paul because they agree with his entire message, thats fine with me, who am I to tell someone who to vote for?
With that said there's a LOT of Ron Paul supporters I've talked to, who simply don't understand him, and do such silly things as compare him to Kucinich. A lot of people only know of Paul's stance on the war, and then perhaps a few vague statements like "Ron Paul is for freedom and liberty!". - AdamPieniazek, on 01/27/2008, -5/+33Well, Obama was gonna win MA anyway but now it's a foregone conclusion (there's a lot of Ted Kennedy followers here...duh).
I don't think Gore wants to be in the shadow of Billary forever and he'll most definitely back Obama too, and Gore's views match up better with Obama than Billary. - bitspace, on 01/27/2008, -8/+35As opposed to the President that crashed his country and left thousands of Americans dead.
- mOdQuArK, on 01/27/2008, -9/+33More people than who gives a sh*t about what you think.
- Sparq, on 01/27/2008, -3/+27Watch more National Geographic. Lions sit around acting regal while lionesses do the actual hunting.
- pintomp3, on 01/27/2008, -1/+22well, hillary represents the democratic party of late, the one people aren't happy with. obama will be seen as taking it back to it's core virtues around the time of jfk.
- ncairns, on 01/27/2008, -1/+22No, he didn't actually. Only the House has voted on it, and they subsequently tabled the bill until 2011 at the earliest.
Obama is in the Senate. - zKman, on 01/27/2008, -3/+23Vice president to Billary endorsing Obama? That would be big.
- xkrwlng, on 01/27/2008, -31/+51"lion of the senate"
wtf? i thought kennedy was a huge fat ass? - cg4et, on 01/27/2008, -3/+23Yes we can!
- economyisland, on 01/27/2008, -3/+22If Billary keeps acting out ridiculously I don't think it would be too far fetched for Gore to endorse Obama.
- bitspace, on 01/27/2008, -1/+20*ring ring* The ironyphone is ringing taffy, it's for you.
- echolyean, on 01/27/2008, -4/+23When Super delegates play a large role, absolutely.
- LordBoreal51, on 01/27/2008, -4/+23I don't see why you are getting buried, but I too fear for Senator Obama's life if he becomes president. Such a charismatic and unifying person could provoke assassination, I just hope that his staff is protecting him well.
- fasda, on 01/27/2008, -6/+24what the ***** have you been drinking/smoking/huffing/injecting that made no ***** sense at all.
- inactive, on 01/27/2008, -1/+19My what is an idiot?
- inactive, on 01/27/2008, -14/+31Wait a minute, Ted Kennedy's not an embarrassment anymore? When did this happen?
- ncairns, on 01/27/2008, -5/+21Actually, he managed to help restrict the provisions of the Patriot Act - if he hadn't worked in conference to make it slightly more palatable, the original Patriot Act would have been put up for re-authorization and it STILL would have passed.

Thanks for the lies, though! - zioxide, on 01/27/2008, -2/+17Yeah, I think he's definitely going to win MA. Kerry and Gov. Patrick endorsed him too.
- nirav72, on 01/27/2008, -2/+17"Think Obama would do that? No way. He's ready to cave already on allowing the Islamic jihadists the power to take over Iraq."
Right because Iraq was responsible for 9/11. Obama wants to go after the real "threat". You know..the crazies running around in pakistan's backyard. The real people responsible for 9/11 and the ones that continue to be our threat. How is that caving in? - wphj, on 01/27/2008, -1/+16I believe sir, that YOU'RE the idiot.
- synaesthesia, on 01/27/2008, -0/+14Al Gore has ascended far beyond the mundane human affairs of this realm.
- gettempapa, on 01/27/2008, -4/+18Kennedy is far more experienced than Clinton and he is endorsing Obama. His experience trumps Clinton's.
- inactive, on 01/27/2008, -21/+35Senator Kennedy, Lion of the Senate BUFFET, Endorses Barack Obama
- inactive, on 01/27/2008, -19/+32i'd say the same thing to you but the irony would be lost...
- CannibalTom, on 01/27/2008, -5/+18According to SC exit polls, experience means dittily-squat.
- oneblackcitizen, on 01/27/2008, -14/+27The new JFK?
Is any one else a little scared for Obama?
i wouldn't trust any one right about now. - Pillage, on 01/27/2008, -0/+12do you people know who Ted Kennedy is?!
- ispellkonfusion, on 01/27/2008, -14/+26Just another reason I love Teddy K.
- bitspace, on 01/27/2008, -3/+15Ted != Caroline.
- davecor, on 01/27/2008, -0/+10Agreed... Monica Lewinsky was no Marilyn Monroe!
Clinton couldn't hold a candle to Kennedy. - jellygraph, on 01/27/2008, -1/+10he already sounds nicer than you
- kevinisms, on 01/28/2008, -2/+11I didn't know that lions could drive cars into lakes and leave passengers for dead.
- jellygraph, on 01/27/2008, -1/+10Murder is when you engineer someones death intentionally, usually with a motive.
(Dictionary.com: The unlawful killing of one human by another, especially with premeditated malice.)
Just thought you should know, as you appear not to understand its proper definition. - inactive, on 01/27/2008, -0/+8Obama understands markets far better than Hillary. He would implement a more effective cap and trade regime.
- Gable454, on 01/27/2008, -0/+8agreed. Bill suffered from a bad case of hubris. JFK could get away with that kind of stuff in his era, Bill could not, but it did not stop him trying.
