If you are Obama, would you want Ted Kennedy's endorsement?

[Perky]

Who do you think he is going to endorse? And would the liberal Lion's make you change allegiances?

[Colobo]

1. I want every Democratic endorsement we can get except for

Zell Miller and Joe Lieberman.

[MadBadger]

2. Damn right I do

It cant hurt in a democratic primary.

[Bicoastal]

3. Why do you ask?

Know something we don't?

[Perky]

6. shhh

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

4. Hell, yes.

[texastoast]

5. Why wouldn't he?

Hmm?

[BeyondGeography]

7. Oh yeah

[DesertFlower]

8. i would. i think ted kennedy

has been one of our best senators.

of course, there are those who will never forgive him for chappaquidick.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

12. And those people would be Republicans.

Who the hell cares what those assholes think?

[niceypoo]

9. Why wouldn't you?

You ask it as if it is a bad thing. What, you scared the republicans wouldn't like it? Who cares what those bigots think.

[Perky]

13. You are reading to much into the OP

[THUNDER HANDS]

10. he's a superdelegate, so yes

[KennedyGuy]

11. I think its unlikely..but I'm sure he'd like it

[Tweety]

14. Don't you want every democrat to endorse you?

[Faygo Kid]

15. Of course. This is DU; can't we recognize a great Dem American here?

What, is he "too old" for some? Was Ted Kennedy wrong on the war? Has he failed to fight for health care, the working class, for organized labor, for the arts, for peace?

What am I missing here? Whoever he endorses is fortunate to get that endorsement. He could have quit fighting for us a long time ago - he never needed the fame or the money. He has made personal mistakes (what, Bush hasn't?), but he has stood with us time and time again, against the worst sort of hate, and I don't like the posts that disparage Ted here at all.

I don't know who he is going to endorse. I will pick my own candidate. But I sure as hell endorse him, for all he has done and continues to do.

[DesertFlower]

16. i totally agree with you.

i wish he was my senator.
