Same Kennedy charisma.

[polichick]

1. Yes, both Teddy Jr. and Teddy III have that charisma. I really enjoyed seeing this boy! nt

[Sky Masterson]

2. That was awesome!

I teared up a little

3. "I plan to become the Senator from MA....."

Now I remember why teaching 11 and 12 year olds was my favorite age group. I hope to live long enough to see Teddy III make his dream happen.

4. I disagree with nepotism and I don't care which political party does it.

If he gets in, it will be because he can prove he can do the job.

9. It's the kind of thinking that got us Bush. n/m

15. The mechanism that brought us bush was diebold, Katherine

Harris, and the United State Supreme Court.

[Carl Skan]

17. He would never have been in a position for that to matter if it weren't for his name.

It's what happens when you give a person credit being from the right family.

19. Sure there will be some credit for his name but he's clearly a smart enough person to go...

out and prove his worth through gaining experience. He has every right to run in democracy. He gives the impression he'll go out and earn that right too. All the finest luck to him, should he even decide to run in the end. I'd never discourage anyones dreams.

[Carl Skan]

20. Nobody said anything about discouraging him

And it would take thousands of posts to list the bright kids with wonderful potential who dream of becomming POTUS some day. Unfortunately, they don't come from royalty.

[GivePeaceAchance]

21. No no-one was actively discouraging anyone but on any slight chance he was reading this I would say

from my perspective go for it. Democracy eventually decides whether his heritage or content of character matters. I think he would go through a fair vetting by voters along with other contenders if he possibly chooses to run one day.

13. And that's a long way off

So far the only reason given is 'he's a Kennedy'.

5. Here's the same little guy last night....

[KittyWampus]

12. it'd be nice if photographers and DU'ers allowed the family/kids some privacy in their grief.

[Sky Masterson]

6. Lets keep this thread kicked until 2044!!

:hide: :P

[nuxvomica]

7. He's going after Kerry's seat (Class II) not Teddy's (Class I)

Interesting.

[bluestateguy]

8. I'd be 68 then

He can fight off all the Republicans trying to take away my Medicare.

[RoccoR5955]

10. If I live to be 89 it would be awesome

To see Little Teddy in the Senate!
You go kid!

[itsrobert]

11. I'm not seeing it

There is definitely something about him. But, I don't know if it's good or bad, right now. Give it a few years.

[Iwillnevergiveup]

14. A very poised, sweet kid - n/t

[gbate]

16. Aw, what a sweetie.

[butterfly77]

18. He is the right namesake..

he is a minature Sen.Edward Kennedy..

[BattyDem]

22. Wow!

I have never seen that level of grace, composure and thoughtfulness in a child that age. :-)

23. Kick n/t
