Caroline and Ted Kennedy, fairly early in the Dem primary process, came out and endorsed Obama .. it was a turning point, a crucial turning point, in his bid for the nomination.
She was then appointed to his VP selection committee. And we all know what a great selection that was.
Since then the push to be given the NY senate seat Hillary was vacating, revalations of purported extramarital affair, and the purported bid for Vatican ambassador have taken her reputation down more than a notch.

Chuck Colson would be a good pick.
it will probably be too late to reclaim America. Even if Commandate Zero (as we call him in my house) vanished from the face of the earth tomorrow, more than half our population has been taken over by the mental deficiency that his election represents.
In the days of the cold war I don't recall the US and USSR insulting each other with radical ambassadors.
0bama's choices as ambassador to the Vatican have been either stupid on his part or meant to be insulting.
The Holy See has drawn a line in the sand, Barry can do it by the rules or do without.
Even without an ambassador to the Vatican 55%+ of catholics will vote for a democrat for president no matter how dastardly his/her policies.
At war with the church perhaps. Individually catholic voters are solidly in his army.
Chatting this morning with Bill O’Reilly, a semi-regular Early Show guest, Smith called the floating of Kennedy’s name “too stupid” to be true.
last night O’Reilly compared naming Kennedy as Vatican ambassador to naming him (O’Reilly) ambassador to FRANCE!
I cracked up. O’R was one of the leaders of the boycott of goods from and travel to France.
IMHO, the problem arises with Obama picking a pro abortion, anti marriage, Dem catholic to represent America. This would be like Obama insisting the Vatican recognize the non Catholic, catholics. A quick click on my name will get mucho opinion on what I think about that just in the last couple of months.
This continues to go back to the threads I have posted on here at FR about the pope, a cardinal, bishop or just anybody that cares, opine that Kennedy, Biden, Pelosi, Kerry and any one of about 2 dozen more high profile politico's that claim to be catholic should be chastised in some way by the Church. This cannot stand, and will fester to a boil, if allowed to continue. Also, IMHO, It's going to happen soon with the death of Teddy. I believe the fawning of the church over the life and times of Teddy Kennedy's thumbing of his nose at the church dogma will cause a schism of some sort. If it doesn't, I give up.
Why bother voting?
What do you think the odds are that he will ever have more than 5%?
I was just making the point that Keyes is more Catholic than any Kennedy.
OMG, I missed that completely. Don’t even know what to say! Guess the dignity of the Oval Office is on a 4 year hiatus. Again.
LOL! He is right though.
