Another Day, Another Kennedy



What It Is, Folks,

So with all these Kennedy's flying around it shouldn't be surprising that one more has popped up to get behind a candidate. This time it's Ethel for Obama:

That makes the score:

Obama: 4 Kennedys (one JFK seed + one JFK brother + one JFK nephew + one RFK wife)

Billary: 3 Kennedys (all seed of RFK)

Now, some would say that aside from the 1 extra Kenneday advantage, Obama also has an edge because while Billary has RFK's seed, Obama actually has RFK's WIFE. And not for nothing, but who knows a man (for better or worse) than the wife? So now you got Kennedys saying Obama is like John AND Bobby! Dang! Let's hope he stays safer than those two did....

And on another note, why do we care so much about what "A Kennedy" thinks anyway? Is this about any true political merit of the family today, or some left-over romanticism about the "Camelot" of yesteryear?

I'm not saying, I'm just saying.
