A fresh new Knight to seat at the Kings table. A simple senate seat could turn into a National election at least in the publics mind. It is one thing to publicize a man's death it is totally different to carry out a dead man's wishes.

Democrats are already starting to get backlash from trying to use Kennedy's death to further their DunselCare agenda. Plus there is still a good week or so of the "August" recess so there will be other news that will fade Kennedy's death. Michale....

Democrats are already starting to get backlash from trying to use Kennedy's death to further their DunselCare agenda.

Plus there is still a good week or so of the "August" recess so there will be other news that will fade Kennedy's death.

Teddy's death should do to health care what John's death did to Civil Rights. If it doesn't I think it is time to change my political affiliation. Let not his death be in vain.

With that said, I have always respected him as a man of conviction. He truely was the Lion and he will be missed. Politically, Senator Kennedy and I couldn't be farther apart in our views.

The United States Senate has just become a very different place without the powerful presence of Senator Kennedy.

They always know the right words to say and the right buttons to push. This is not a slam or an attack. Eloquence has it's place and it's time and Democrats, as a rule, has always been able to hit the mark. But, as history shows us, there comes a time and a place where words have to be converted to deeds. This is where Democrats fall far short. It's not enough to rally the troops. One must be able to follow thru. Michale..... Democrats have always been excellent at speeches. They always know the right words to say and the right buttons to push.
