[annabanana]

4. Me too.

He was a great man.

[malaise]

5. This is lovely

A beautiful tribute woven into serious campaigning.

[KaryninMiami]

6. Me too. He would love this film- I'm sure he's watching!

And boy would he be pissed off about what's going on with the GOP these days and what monsters they have become.

[JI7]

[VespertineIconoclast]

16. Me too. n/t

[CountAllVotes]

17. I met him years ago

I had the priveledge of shaking his hand. He had such a great energy surrounging him -- just a fine charisma indeed.

& RIP Senator!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

29. me too...but he was in the bar and I interrupted him for an autograph

which I still have and will cherish forever.

[CountAllVotes]

31. He was shilling for Dukakis at the time

Some pre-election thing. I was so glad I went!

[Freddie]

18. Crying too

What a great human being.
"From whom much is given, much is required"--somehow the "Christians" in the GOP conveniently forgot that Bible verse.

[RKP5637]

19. Yep, same here, I grew up with the Kennedys, recalling well JFK's debates and then watching Teddy

and all of Kennedys. I miss them all.

[graywarrior]

22. Me, too.

Sometimes I'd see him on Cambridge Street in Boston on his way to his office. He loved being out with people.

[loyalsister]

20. I'm so glad he was here long enough to see Obama get elected

He seemed to endorse him with his whole heart.

[RKP5637]

21. +++ 1,000,000 +++ n/t

23. I'm thinking that "Bill" will replace him in his Speech for Obama on Thursday....

I just wonder why Obama didn't do enough to keep Teddy's Seat after the Kennedy Family went out of their way to endorse him and even gave the Obama Family "BO...the Water Dog" spawn of the Ted Kennedy Legacy.

Always struck me as weird Karma.

[ailsagirl]

24. Me too. It's so hard to realize he's really gone.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

25. OMG..me too. thanks for saying it. He is my hero

He stood up every day and came and fought for those less fortunate. He could have sat on his yacht. He could have counted his money. He could have put his feet up and ate caviar. And, even though his two brothers died a violent death, and safety would have been a lesser man's worry...he kept on going.

He is a light shining in the heavens to me.

[graywarrior]

30. We can still feel the emptiness without him

[CountAllVotes]

32. Ted was like the end

The end of a great era of fine Kennedy folk.

I miss them all, but mostly Ted as he was around for us for so very long.

He'll never be forgotten, we know this much anyway.

(((Ted)))

[Odin2005]

33. Me too!
