What does the Ted Kennedy endorsement mean for Obama? It means little in the general election. In fact, I guarantee that Ted Kennedy will not be allowed to campaign in about 80% of the nation's counties this fall. The Dems love Ted as long as he stays in Boston.
The Kennedy support probably helps in the Dems' primaries. The Kennedy can play "Camelot" and remind everyone of JFK.
Beyond politics, I think that the Kennedys are probably fed up with the Clintons. Wonder how Bill feels about any of this? See Clintons & the Race Card: Who's Surprised? by Christopher Hitchens!
P.S. How far to the left have the Dems gone? In '60, Reagan had a lot in common with JFK. Reagan may have voted for JFK since he supported FDR and Truman!
