Death is part of life. Do democrats expect Ted Kennedy to live forever? At 76, and considering his history, I would think no one would be surprised.
I wish him well. I trust Ted will pull through this too. Remember, he survived an awful automobile accident in 1969.
There is one thing I am sure about. The United States senate will still be in business years and years and years after Ted Kennedy dies, which is inevitable and nonnegotiable.
