MA: Ted Kennedy for Senate 2006

This is an obvious endorsement of Senator Edward Moore Kennedy for re-election in 2006. The senior senator of Massachusetts has been in the Senate since his brother resigned to take the Presidency. He served in the Senate at the same time as another brother, Bobby Kennedy, did.

Senator Kennedy is a fighter. He's been standing up for democratic values since, well, before I was born. Just recently, Senator Kennedy has been posting in the blogosphere and I appreciate that.

We may not have Jack and Bobby living with us anymore but we still have Ted, and for that I'm grateful. It was in 1980, in a speech that Bob Shrum helped write, that Senator Kennedy coined the phrase: "The work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives and the dreams shall never die."

Go get 'em, Teddy!

Correction: A reader points out that Senator Kennedy was properly elected in November 1962 to serve out his brother's term and was not appointed as I had previously thought.
