With Kerry Backing Obama, What Will Ted Kennedy Do?

tpmelectioncentral.com

By Greg Sargent - January 10, 2008, 10:31AM

Now that John Kerry is backing Barack Obama, the next big endorsement prize -- Al Gore aside -- is Kerry's fellow Senator from Massachusetts, Ted Kennedy.

"What will Teddy do? That's the question," one Hillary adviser tells Election Central. It's unclear whether Kennedy will endorse at all, of course -- he may prove reluctant to wade into this battle.

The adviser says that the Clinton team really wants Kennedy's endorsement -- because it would carry heavy symbolic weight given the frequent comparisons of Obama and another certain Kennedy.

"They have really worked Teddy hard," this adviser says. "Especially because of the analogies between Barack and JFK."

Interesting stuff. Stay with us.

Kerry delivered that speech with a lot of enthusiasm, and he seemed happy in doing so. Good for him.

This endorsement by an establishment democrat will make others in the establishment perceive Obama in a different light, if they have not done so already.

Sen Tim Johnson is endorsing Obama tonite.

Obama has picked up some great endorsements in the last 2 days, taking off some of the sting from the NH narrow loss.
