And indeed you will.
Kennedy is going on the road for Obama. Do you understand the political weight and significance this carries? It seems you haven't grasped the symbolism of the Kennedy dynasty essentially "passing the torch" to a new generation of leadership -- this is huge, not only for Democrats but for the entire American political landscape.
ANY and all of the candidates sought this moment today. They all wanted it badly. It's a huge blow to the Clintons. It has enormous stature. It takes Obama to a whole new, stonger level now. If he wasn't already, it certainly legitimizes his candidacy. The matter of his experience is officially retired when the 42-year senior lion that is Ted Kennedy says "he's ready on DAY 1".
