Ted Kennedy

The big news for Democrats on Tuesday was supposed to be the primaries in Kentucky and Oregon, and how close Obama would come to the nomination, and what it all meant for Florida and Michigan, and for women, and of course for the fall election. But it wasn’t, at least not for this Democrat. The race for the White House was overshadowed by something bigger.
Cancer.

The morning brought the news that Senator Edward M. Kennedy, EMK or “the Senator” , had gotten the worst possible explanation for the seizures he suffered on Saturday, the one that everyone dreads when they hear about seizures, the one that you pray will be ruled out right away so that more mundane, more treatable causes can be considered.

But we know if anyone can pull through a hard time, It is a Kennedy. Our prayers are with you Ted.
