Ted Kennedy Killed Hillary's Nomination Prospect

When Ted Kennedy used the bogus excuse that Bill Clinton was "ganging up" on Obama as a excuse to endorse Obama, that was the turning point, I think in the race. That gave other people who had pledged support for Hillary the tacit approval to stab Hillary in the back.

When I heard what happened to Kennedy over the weekend, as much as I wouldn't wish cancer on anybody...I thought...God don't like ugly. Ted Kennedy had given his word to remain neutral but he reneged on his promise. According to articles I've read, he was upset about Hillary giving credit to LBJ for passage of Civil Rights Legislation instead of JFK, and that is why he endorsed Obama. http://weblogs.chicagotribune.com/news/politics/blog/2008/01/by_frank_james_for_all.html

What is particularly odious and striking about the way the party has treated Hillary Clinton is if you can treat someone of her stature in this way, someone who has been First Lady twice, her husband is the only President the Party has had in the 25 yeras I've been in America...how would they treat others who aren't affiliated to their party? I t has revealed a side to the Democrats that I find particularly distasteful.

Recently, Ted Kennedy has been making really hurtful statements about Hillary's leadership and qualifications to be VP. These are Kennedy's exact words: Obama should choose a running mate who "is in tune with his appeal for the nobler aspirations of the American people," Kennedy said. "If we had real leadership - as we do with Barack Obama - in the No. 2 spot as well, it'd be enormously helpful."
Excuse me, but who the hell does Ted kennedy think he is? Just because the media treats his family like they are royalty and gives them a pass...it does not change the fact that he show poor judgement by allowing Mary Joe Kopeckne to drown. he also was 700+ vortes behind Jimmy Carter in 1980 and yet he took his fight to the Convention. He lost, refused to shake Carter's hand, and refused to "unify" the Party, contributing to the Dems loss.Was that leadership I ask? Was that nobler aspirations, I ask?
