A Healthy Taste for Crow

Well, well now don’t I like the taste of crow! Ted Kennedy actually endorsed Obama after all this time. Why? And why now? With Super Tuesday just days away and Obama having won a tremendous victory in SC, why would Teddy choose this moment to give an endorsement? The democratic ‘powers that be’ know that Ted is a liability, which is why he played second fiddle to John’s daughter. Why allow a dead weight to attach itself to a rising star? Possibly to intentionally slow the ascent of a newcomer whose turn has not come yet? “Conspiracy Theory!” Yes, but taking into account the people we are dealing with that is not far off the mark. It would be kind of like the Gambino, Gotti, and Bonano families having a picnic, no one would think they were discussing charity work, everyone would think “crime syndicate”. It’s the same with this group of politicos, Ted is a liability and the powers that be have tapped Hillary to be #1 on the ticket, so… have Ted endorse Obama. There is enough disgust for Ted to cause disaffected republicans, independents, and moderate democrats who would vote for Obama to think twice and, at worst, just not vote in the primary. That being the case, mission accomplished. Then once the Clinton/Obama ticket is announced at the convention, Ted can be relegated to Massachusetts in case Romney wins for the republicans. If by some twist of fate Obama were to indisputably win the nomination, he had better not pick Clinton to be the running mate. He would probably end up like Vince Foster, or John Kennedy.
