No. The single biggest political debt he owes is to Ted Kennedy, and it's a big one. Prior to Kennedy's endorsement Obama was no more than a big pest and had no significant party backing. Kennedy's endorsement both made Obama credible and gave cover to others in the party to switch to Obama from Hillary Clinton. And Kennedy hasn't forgotten, you can bet the farm on that.



Very true. But, he isn't going to be around for too long. The favors at the moment seem to be Caroline & Robert Jr. getting jobs in the administration.

I discarded him in my mind since, with his illness and even if it takes him a long time to die, I can't see Kennedy being too active in the Senate . They're already talking about replacing his chair.

But, I could very well be proven quite wrong.
