If the legacy claiming by Obama and Clinton devolves into an JFK vs RFK competition

I am very, very happy to be in the RFK corner. :)

1. I believe that RFK Jr. wants Hillary's Senate seat----I figure that is the reason he

endorsed Clinton quite early on. Kathleen K. Townsend also endorsed very early,
when they had no reason to think that anyone else would be a serious contender.

I think Caroline had absolutely no other reason than she believes what she said.
Ted was offended by what the Clinton's said, but I also believe he sees that "Kennedy quality" in Barack.

I worked for Jack's election (I was 15 at the time) and loved Bobby dearly. It was a personal loss when they both were taken from us. Bobby's death hurt me even more, if that is possible.

I met Obama, back when he was running for IL Senate, at a rally on a Southern IL farm in Macoupin CO. I felt then that he was so like JFK and RFK--way before I ever heard anyone else make that comparison. I have watched him develop ever since. He has that indescribable quality that both Kennedys had-- which includes an ability to inspire and lead. Living during those times, I know how much that quality of leadership meant, and was needed. We need that kind of leader now.
The Clintons have had their chance; now it is time for a NEW GENERATION of leadership.
I am in Obama's corner all the way. He is what is needed for the future.

2. RFK Jr didn't have to make this ad

and Kathleen Kennedy Townsend didn't have to make the rounds of the news shows last week ardently re expressing her support for Hillary.

You have to understand something: there are people who believe in Hillary as fervently as you believe in Obama. You, and his campaign, don't have a lock on passion and idealism, and many people who were intimately involved with both Kennedys are diehard Clinton supporters. I am delighted you are so fervently in support of Obama. But give your opponent's some credit - they may believe just as fervently as you do.

3. There is no RFK,or JFK corner

and don't forget; Ethel backs Obama.

4. I agree

but the campaigns are turning it into that.

Ad for Obama - Moving images of JFK with Caroline doing voiceover

Ad for Hillary - Moving images of RFK (and Cesar Chavez) with RFK Jr and Cesar Jr doing voiceover.

I'm pretty sure I know which ad will be more effective in NY and CA.
