Media Going Bonkers over Kennedy Endorsement

TeddY: "Caroline, your mother and father would be proud of you today!"

Teddie can still give a rousing speech.

"Extraordinary" Andrea Mitchell

Chris Mathews: Excitement we haven't seen since the sixties.

The 60's are the problem....

Dunno how so many of you can't see that.

Oh yeah, you inhaled.

I'm pro Obama, but I'm not so sure this is a good thing. But maybe it is, given that oldies tend to vote.

Well, be sure, it is not a good thing, it's a GREAT thing.

We don't need a great pacifist orator with little to no experience.

I'm sure Bill is just having a cow over this. It's fun to watch.

More of what Matthews was referring to

JFK was a loved president with some rather unusual personal demons.

Ted is a drunken murderer.

If you are pro Obama... a Kennedy endorsement is a very good thing.

Just the news splash (the fact it made headlines across the country) is a good thing for Obama. It gives more legitimacy and again undercuts the Hillary inevitabliity thing.

Second, Hillary right now has a big advantage in the Hispanic community (in my opinion this is completely undeserved). Kennedy will help among this community in the all important state of California.

Third, Hillary started with a big advantage in the party establishment. Kennedy has connections in the party... this will be important down the stretch.

Yes... this is a pretty good day for Obama fans.

Oh... and the downside of the Kennedy Endorsement?

Well, the number of the people in the US who hate Kennedy and don't hate Hillary can be counted on one hand.

I'm thinking this will boost his super delegates, too.

And thats what makes JFK different then most of the dems today, IMHO.
A majority of the dems today dont agree with this statement from JFK's speech.

<<ebrown wonders if MM understands that JFK has not endorsed any candidate in the 2008 primaries, a fact that has nothing to do with the Democrats support for liberty.>>

I was thinking more re that the strong distaste for liberals is sort of fed by the endorsement - but I take your points, ebrown, especially the second and third ones.

No way does Obama win California. Latinos no se gustan los Negros.

Rox, nice rack! Is a subcompact missing its safety equipment somewhere?

<<ebrown contemplates correcting paull's crappy Spanish... and then thinks about pointing out the fact that Dominicans... >>

Oh never mind.

How racist is it to characterize Hispanics as all thinking alike?

If racism means identifying races, being informed, and making conclusions about how they will vote, I am a bigoted as they come. The difference is info, which is hard to come by in Russian River dives.
