The Kennedys' opt for Obama

By: Loren Shimanek

In an unfortunate twist of bad luck for the Clinton campaign the prestigious Kennedy family has announced their support for Barack Obama's campaign for the Democratic nomination. This at a time when the media has been abuzz about the strategy behind the spousal endorsement of President Bill Clinton for his wife Senator Hilary Rodham Clinton as to whether it was a flop or good idea. Either way the symbolic logistics of a Kennedy family nod will grant Obama that much more clout heading into the February 5th showdown. The Obama campaign has garnered massive support from many in the Democratic elite showing that the party may not be impressed with the Clinton candidacy or the prospects of four years of gradual conservatism. Check back for more details on last Thursday's press conference and an anonymous leak out of the Giuliani campaign that may diminish the other Republican candidates run for the Soc 118 vote.
