Wheres Ted Kennedy when you need him?

I doubt he would take this Russian / Trump investigation lying down. I for one miss his podium pounding speeches and am really looking for some democrat to take this over.......anyone please step up.

I am also afraid that there is no longer any "middle" to listen to a Ted-type speech anymore ...

I hope there is somebody in Congress that can take his place but I don't see that person yet.

What a surprise to open DU,and see this as the latest story.

Remember Bork. Oh, for Ted Kennedy's loud, unequivocal voice on healthcare.

He stood fast, loud, and firm. No insult intended to our good, strong Dems. Ted Kennedy was one who cannot be relaced though.

Robert Byrd had a unique strength too (I know his background, but he woke up to the evil he was brought up in, and became a strong voice for the good.)
