Kennedy Endorsement of Obama

From comments to this post...

I agree that TK will not help BO with crossovers at all. This is a big risk on BO's part that he doesn't lose the crossovers that he's been successful with so far by aligning himself with a polarizing liberal. It's obviously an attempt to chew into HRC's hispanic and white blue-collar base.

The strategyI see playing out in the Democratic primaries right now is a battle of personalities. The issue positions between HRC and BO aren't that different until you get down into the weeds, and once this stuff gets into congress it'll change quite a bit from their positions in stump speeches. The galvanic Obama movement now is largely a reaction to the win-at-any-cost approach of the Clintons. Democrats are remembering the primrose path they were carried down in the nineties and are becoming convinced that they'd prefer an alternate path to four more divisive years of potential Clinton scandal and the vitriol that will be induced from the right-wing.

Rush Limbaugh goes to sleep at night with wet dreams of a Billary presidency. Most of the country is beginning to realize that eight years of Bill and Hill might not be all that fun, not to mention a bitter general election that will top the charts for the lowest form of sleaze-mongering.
