3. Um...Who doesn't?
Since "skeletons" have such a fuzzy definition and all.

People see what they want to see, no?

5. yea
I saw the skeletons on DK and I was like lol the fact that he is cool with kielbasa isnt a skeleton and him having the city go in to default. I kinda chuckled. Also I am fully aware of the fact that RFK worked for McCarthy and you know what I forgive.

7. All four brothers
Joe Jr. was sort of cool too. I know all about their "bad" stuff, but politcally they were and are a great family. Joe Jr. was kill in WWII when he volunteered to go a very dangerous flight mission over Germany. He plane blew up on the way.

9. Teddy
he has made more of an impact in his senatorial career than even JFK did as president.

11. Bobby
I think JFK was vastly overrated and I just haven'r liked or trusted Ted since Chappaquiddick.
John
I'd stack up LBJ's liberal credentials against any of the Kennedys.

13. I voted for Ted
for probably the wrong reason.

He lived long enough to legislate, have successes, have failures, be human and be great. He lived long enough to put his idealism and his principles into action. He lived long enough for the heavy lifting.

Not to take anything way from Bobby or Jack - both of whom died for who they were and what they stood for.

16. The little-known Chuck Kennedy
He always had a basketball in his hand. But he disappeared after the first season.
