Teddy Kennedy as Keynote at the DNC Convention?!
Edited on Fri Jul-25-08 04:37 PM by jefferson_dem
Barack was just asked about that "buzz" by Candy Crowley and he was pretty darn coy.

Oh man! Sounds like a dream!

2. Ted Kennedy released a statement yesterday
about the minimum wage hike. He was pleased it passed.

I wouldn't put anything out of range for him to do - and I mean NOTHING! :D

:kick:

4. Please say its so!!! I have a good feeling that ole Teddy is going to be around the convention
in some prominent role.

His placing Obama's name in nomination would be a kicker too!

6. Best choice possible.
Teddy is still strong and he deserves the respect and honor more than any other, bar none.

He reminds us of happier and more hopeful time in the past, which dovetails perfectly with our future with president Obama.

Let it be Ted Kennedy.

:patriot:

9. I would LOVE that.
Is it Obamas decision? If so... I bet the 'buzz' is correct! :bounce:

10. If it is Teddy, I hope they keep it a secret until the convention.
And have him surprise everyone by coming out on stage!

11. I don't think there's any doubt that Teddy will have a prominent role in this convention
assuming he's up to it, anyway. Sadly, this might well be his last one :(
