Question: How much is Ted Kennedy missed in the Senate today?
Edited on Thu Dec-17-09 07:44 PM by denem
A man who could struggle to the floor, racked by cancer, and change votes with one look.

1. Teddy's voice is missed very much.
I suspect he would have taken to the floor with passion, and demanding the Senate seize this opportunity, and take action to pass these reforms.

2. Ted would be kicking butts and taking names.
We would have a decent bill with him still alive.

Miss you Ted.

4. I was thinking about that yesterday.
How much his voice is needed right now.

8. A fuckup, to be sure, but one of the very few he made.
He certainly had a better track record than most.

9. Yes, he is missed. He would be saying I have been here before, done this act, now this time lets get
a Health Care bill passed.
