A bloated, dying Ted Kennedy is really the perfect symbol for the Democrat party.

Water is his symbol for life. You can’t make this stuff up.

I guess nobody saw THIS set of circumstances coming.

Ted, dead man walking, steps on the stage and gets tremendous cheering from all sides, as he goes for the Last Hurrah. He endorses the nominee, just like he always had been in full support. But at a deeper level, he is wary of the potential disaster that awaits the Democrat party as a whole. On this one, the Democrats have bet the farm, already heavily mortgaged, and are hoping for a miracle.

If McCain can produce even the feeblest degree of “coattail effect”, the Democrats may not get the huge margins they had hoped for in the House and Senate.

The current brainiacs in the MSM can't spin a mythos like the they used to. In the old days, they made MYTHS! Myths strong enough that a cad like Ted could windsurf along on the legend of his two brothers for 45 years.

Poor Obama, he'll wither on the vine, and the philandering Ted will be longer remembered as a Great Statesman, whereas Obama will be remembered only as a silly-season's failure in a few short years.
