Joe Kennedy - going back in time.

Listening to him, I felt that I had been transported back in time 50 years. He's not as good an orator as JFK or RFK were but the substance was there and the speaking skill will come. Choosing Fall River MA was brilliant....my family immigrated from Ireland to Fall River...worked in the mills...their children became lawyers and judges. A fact about Joe...he started out as an Assistant DA in Barnstable County (Cape Cod) worked his way up. People who knew him then loved him.
