What I really, really want for Ted Kennedy
I want to see him at Barack Obama's nomination. I want that almost as much as I want to see Obama sworn in. I imagine seeing Obama elected would be deeply satisfying for him. Kennedy has put so much of his heart into his endorsement of Obama.

9. Hell Cali, I hope and pray that Ted is at Obama's
inauguration.

"The Lion of the Senate" fits him well.

10. Ditto
Lovely post.
He already passed that Kennedy baton to Obama but it would be nice to see him seal the deal.

12. Oh, I agree so much Cali.
I hope that Sen. Kennedy survives this and that he lives many more years.

But, I know what you mean.
