My DH, Mr. Elena, is very, very impressed with the Kennedy's endorsement...

As am I -- Caroline's in particular.

We're both rather cynical and prefer Edwards, but hubs thinks this endorsement may inspire Obama to do great things.

1. That's an interesting way to look at the endorsement...

If the Kennedy's are alongside Obama now, it is likely that Ted Kennedy
will be a significant factor in an Obama presidency. His presidency
could be strongly influenced by the Kennedy's and Ted may end up
being one of his strongest confidants.

Great leaders inspire, and they surround themselves with the best
people--and they move forward in that way.

I used to work with this amazing man--a senior vp at a high-tech company.
He was exactly like Obama. The man lost his phone every other day and
couldn't keep papers straight, but the man was a visionary and he knew
how to extract the best out of people. He hired the best technical
and creative experts--and he directed all of us to new levels--personally
and professionally.

I think Obama would govern and lead in a similar way. What a political
coup--to have the Kennedy's a part of his team.

Maybe he'll ask one of the Kennedys to play a major role in his administration?
