Which Kennedy? If you listen to political speeches, it's hard to tell the difference between JFK, RR and W. They're all tax cutters and strong on defense.
If you mean Teddy, well, I don't know anyone except Mary Jo who would drink anything for him.
I was born and brought up in an Irish-Catholic family in Massachusetts. I was introduced to politics at age 9 watching the conventions in 1960 and saw JFK elected to my families delight. It took Reagan to loosen the grip the democrats held on my parents. Thanks to JFK for many others they'll die before going republican.
Now that is starting to happen.
