17. Two notes.
1. The endorsement of Obama by TK was important largely because it gave Obama, for the first time, the blessing of a legitimate, established wing of the Democratic internal structure. If TK had endorsed Hillary, it would have been unremarkable. His endorsement of Kerry was unremarkable. His endorsement of Obama was interesting for that reason.

2. TK is far more important, well-known, and influential than RFK Jr. Caroline Kennedy is rather unimportant, but is at least nationally known. Kathleen Townsend is a political nonentity.
