2. An undocumented Profile in Courage

Ted Kennedy has endured family tragedy none of us can imagine for decades.

He could have sold out or retired from public service.

He could have ducked for cover indefinitely because he knows that every time he opens his mouth, the response will be forever "Chappaquidick!" But he continues to speak his mind.

He has to live with himself for whatever personal failings and only has to answer to himself, his family, and to his God.

And he's still here, fighting the good fight. The guy's got guts and integrity. He has my vote and I live in New Jersey.
