Ted Kennedy wants change? Leave the Senate!
Contributed by: Nazbanoo Pahlavi on 1/28/2008

The Kennedy endorsement of Barack Obama is this season's juiciest hipocrisies in presidential endorsements. Ted Kennedy - the head of one of this country's oldest and most scandalous political dynasties - endorses Obama as a candidate of change.

Hello?! Senator Kennedy has been on the Senate for over 40 years. If he really advocates change, he needs to step down and allow another prospective young democrat to run for his seat. Don't advocate Obama as a "change" candidate when you are part and parcel of this country's ultimate political royal families. If you support Obama - don't say it's because he reminds you of your father, Caroline - Instead, point to proposed measures or historical precedent in his legislative history to recommend him. I wish Obama supporters would rely on their candidate's measurable merits, instead of this overhyped and drawn-out gimmick of change. It may work for a moment, but not for the long haul.

Don't flaunt him as a candidate of ideas and hope, if you don't back it.

Really want a change? Let's see a viable woman candidate on the democratic ticket. Now that would be a change.
