Well, we all know that Ted Kennedy and his niece Caroline have come out supporting Obama, and RFK Jr. and Kathleen Kennedy Townsend have come out supporting Hillary. Chuck Norris is on Huckabee's side. Who else is there, and do you think it will have any effect on the actual campaigns?

Maybe it's your Republican past talking, but why the Kennedy hate per se? While I find their (at the time) close ties to Joe McCarthy contemptible (sad but true), I'm convinced RFK Version 1968 would've rocked the house had he been given the proper chance.

At any event, I think when people wax poetic on the Kennedys, I think it's more on the hope they represented and what people saw in them than what they actually got done (which, I guess, isn't too far off from Obama's mantra today). But admittedly, it's not fair to say that when assassins' bullets prevent you from getting done what you hoped to get done. So it's all a "What if?" scenario that will never be answered.
