The Hand of Ted

With Harry Reid lobbying David Paterson to appoint Caroline Kennedy to the Senate, and even Hillary Clinton coming out to tell her supporters not to oppose Kennedy, the hand-writing is on the wall with this one.

However, what really needs to be noted is that the fingerprints of Ted Kennedy are all over. Make no mistake: it was Ted was pressured and ultimately convinced Caroline to try to make the move to Washington. And it was Ted who lined up support immediately among some of the most important Democrats in America behind Caroline.

When Caroline is sworn in early next year (barring some very weird changes to the current climate), it will be because of her Uncle Ted. Boy, what Ted wants, Ted always gets.
