22. January 26, 2008 Caroline & Ted endorsed Obama - It was RFK's kids that endorsed Hillary
The committee is a set up can game to cover Obama for giving the finger to Hillary supporters

23. You mean the PRESUMPTIVE finger.
And it still doesn't explain why Caroline switched her support.

14. The Kennedys are pretty much the standard-bearers of the party.

15. I thought that was how VP's got picked?

:hi: Caroline Kennedy would make an excellent VP...

Think about it-she certainly is qualified...

She certainly has name recognition!
