With last year's death of Ted Kennedy and the announcement this week that his son Patrick, a congressman in Rhode Island, is bowing out of politics, next year could mark the first time in 63 years that no Kennedy is holding elected office in Washington. But before there's a postmortem on the Kennedy era in national politics, there are a few family members left who could mount a bid to revive the Camelot

Kennedy’s remove themselves from the gene pool faster than they are replaced, so no.

Very doubtful. Camelot was nearly 50 years ago and younger people today could care less about the Kennedy’s.

The Kennedy legacy was heavily dependent on the guidance of cunning, sly old bootlegger Joe, who made sure they were surrounded with competent, if left-wing, advisors, and even micromanaged hound-dog JFK’s marriage to Jackie. I think Ted Kennedy continued as long as he did by sheer momentum, certainly not any special talent on his part. The current generation has no sense, few brains and no one to tell them what to do. They are weak, third-rate and self-absorbed — not very bright. Forget about the dysfunctional Patrick, look at the Clown Kennedy who has allied himself with Hugo Chavez. Look at poor, clueless Caroline. For the legacy to be be reborn, there is going to have to be a rebirth of working brain parts. Who knows, there may be a little Kennedy out there somewhere who inherited old Joe’s abilities. So far, I’m not seeing it.

Enough of these people already. And take the Clintons with you.

We should not be having political dynasties in America.

As long as the MSM exists, the Camelot farce it created will continue.

Nope. Nobody wants them ‘cept a few in the media and we see what direction the media is heading.

I think the highest they can hope is for Patrick to revive Chappaquiddick.

Not possible. Being strongly pro-choice, the remaining Kennedy’s aborted it.
