A Nevada Reader Says Ted Kennedy Has No National InfluenceFrom: Ken Record (e-mail him) Re: Joe Guzzardi’s Column: Teddy Kennedy—The Worst Of The Bad Guys Outside of the U.S. Senate, Teddy Kennedy has almost no influence. His immigration position marginalized him nationally. Kennedy’s lack of clout (and his Capitol Hill mystique) was exposed when he couldn’t come close to making a president out of his Massachusetts colleague John Kerry in 2004. And although Barack Obama politely thanked Teddy for his endorsement earlier this year, the nominee is keeping a safe distance from the Kennedy crowd and the Schwarzenkennedys in California. Record’s previous letter about the Anti-Defamation League is here. |
