3. Kennedy issued a statement, he is not endorsing anyone, not yet anyway..
"Senator Kennedy has no plans to get involved at this time," Melissa Wagone, a spokesperson for the Senator, told the Huffington Post. "He has very strong relationships with many of these candidates personally, and has a lot of respect for them."

10. You could take up the mantle and call Kennedy everyday..
asking if he's ready to endorse Obama. Then, we'll be the first to know!

5. The Montagues and Capulets - will we get a new headline for every Kennedy
Edited on Sun Jan-27-08 09:22 AM by robbedvoter
family member who endorses? We know already - the 2 families and their surrogates hate each others guts. One family being the Kennedys - the other the Clintons. (added on edit so your heads won't explode)

15. I wasn't making a statement, I was asking a question.
I had never heard it so I was curious.

16. I know. There are lots of places that spread false rumors
about the Kennedys but I don't think this is one of them. And sour grapes are no excuse.

17. No sour grapes here.
I am a Democrat above anything else and will support the nominee, period.

Don't know why the question would be translated into sour grapes.

I thought the poster had alluded to Caroline and Bobby Jr. hating each other and it just struck me as odd since I have never heard of it and neither one of them seem like hateful people.

20. Okay.
The point I'm trying to make is that the person who made this claim is simply starting an ugly rumor to detract from Caroline's endorsement, and I'm suggesting we not take the bait.

18. That's news to me
Edited on Sun Jan-27-08 09:20 AM by RFKin2008
Actually, it isn't news. Not even rumor. It's bullshit.

Disregard and carry on.


(btw, those kitties are adorable!!)

19. Kennedys va Clintons - all the attacks from within the Dem party on the Clintons
stem from this. As does Kerry's taking the donor list away from Edwards.

21. You're not fooling anyone with your RW bullshit.
But don't let me stop you from splattering it all over us for the ten thousandth time.

11. If Time just posted this, it seems like it might be true. Great news for Obama if it is true. nm
