The last of the Kennedy dynasty era will soon pass, and with it will be dominating news coverage. He has made serious mistakes in his past, and I did not believe in his politics at all whatsoever, but he is a man dying from a horrific and painful disease. I will take no joy in that at all.
Ted Kennedy was a communist, but he cared deeply for his constituents and did anything he could for them. That is why he is loved in MA and they will give him a huge sendoff.
Once it is done, the Kennedy era in MA will be over. Who will take his seat? (Romney?). Very interesting to see what happens.
