8. Being from MA doesn't mean Kennedy and Kerry represent the voters intent..
as much as I love John Kerry, he's made some terrible decisions campaign decisions. I love Ted Kennedy too but it doesn't mean I'm voting for BO.

10. Possibly...
But, they elected Mitt for Governor.

Robert Kennedy's (who is much more repected than Ted) children endorsed Hillary.

Personally, I don't like when they make endorsements in the primaries. It's like Gore endorsing Dean. If their endorsement doesn't win, then they are no use to the general election.

11. Ask yourself---Has anyone's endorsement really made me
change my vote???

As an average citizen, I see endorsements and think--That is
nice. I vote for my own choice. Sometimes I ask, Does
this person doing the endorsing really understand this
person's positions????

12. Tom Menino and many others at the state level
are for Clinton, so they effectively cancel out. As the only state allowing same-sex marriages, they won't take too kindly to Obama's cozying up with the anti-homosexual bigots on the campaign trail.

16. The pukes can pull out the "North Eastern liberal elite" jargon
or whatever the phrase was.
