More Endorsements

Right before the primaries go national, both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama have received big endorsements that should help them nationwide.

Hillary received the New York Times' endorsement, a newspaper that a lot of Democrats read and respect highly.

However, Obama countered that with an ever bigger endorsement. Ted Kennedy, arguably the most influential Democrat on the hill and nationwide, passionately endorsed him today. This should be a huge boost for Obama, especially among Latinos--who adore Kennedy--and liberals--who also adore Kennedy.

This is a big blow to the Clintons because they actively sought his endorsement as a member of the Democratic establishment.

Also, Caroline Kennedy, the daughter of JFK, endorsed Obama in a New York Times editorial entitled, "A President Like My Father." Representative Patrick Kennedy is also expected to endorse Obama today.

It seems that this string of endorsements is almost an insult to the Clintons because they have always been close with the Kennedys.
