Kennedy: I'll Support Kerry in 2008 Race
From the Department Of Bad Ideas (or should it be the Department of Who Cares?) comes the news that Ted Kennedy would support John Kerry in the event he chooses to seek the 2008 nomination. Seems a bit soon to be endorsing a candidate, since the front-runners this far out usually run out of steam by the time of the primaries. Even knowing what we know now (and many of us knew at the time of the 2004 election) I don't see Kerry as a broadbased candidate who would be a good standard bearer for the Democrats in their quest for the White House. If that's the best they can do, then they really ARE in trouble. My money is still on a Clark/Obama ticket, but more likely it will be someone probably not on the radar at this point.
