In the same NYT oped section, I think it was Gail Collins who talked of the negative Teddy effect. She said women particularly in Mass saw it as betrayal and ganging up on a women. She asked the question about how may women would want a screaming red faced Teddy in their house---the antithesis of obama by the way. I said something similar about the oprah rally in the south scaring off non-blacks elsewhere. JFK was an excellent speaker. RFK was actually soft spoken and quite shy. Red faced teddy reminds one of the town drunk. I rewatched the endorsement speech and he took way too much glee and in retrospect appears to have been more a personal war with bill clinton (another red faced dude) over JFK legacy than a barack endorsement.
