Hey, where's the Tribute Video??? All of the links point to Kennedy's endorsement speech, but not the tribute introduced by his niece. Please, Webmaster, fix the link!!!
Thanx, RMx

Frankly I was a bit worried that if I didnt listen to his speech he'd put me in his car and drown me.

I Have the greatest admiration and respect for the Kennedy family. At 76 I
have shared their victories and their defeats. The Kennedys have given their
lives, their hearts for the American community. The tribute and the speech
are worthy of a great American.

Magnificent, wonderful and warming - the old lion roaring at this best. God keep you well, Teddy.

I don't get tears over these things, EVER but hearing his words and his voice that evokes his brothers was too much to take dry-eyed.

However human he is, as are we all, he has consistently fought for people who do not have a voice. That cannot have been easy these last 20 years because at times he was nearly alone in this fight.

It was an impressive evening and Senator Ted Kennedy's appearance

made a huge impact on all.

His strong voice filled with conviction and a meaningful message was our

Call To Arms.

WORK FOR AND VOTE FOR AMERICA'S FUTURE - OBAMA/BIDEN!

Teddy, my 12 year old son was weeping throughout your marvellous speech. You are still the one.

Great speech. Great, great speech!

What a tribute, what a speech, what a moment in time and history! I blubbered all the way through it, as I'm sure did most of us who remember where we were when each of Teddy's
brothers were shot down. Considering the legacy of selfless service of the Kennedy clan and all they have suffered and sacrificed, his ringing endorsement of Obama could not be more significant, welcomed or persuasive. This really was a passing of the torch of Camelot. What an awesome responsibility and opportunity for President Obama!

HuffPo posted Kennedy's speech, not the tribute video.

I love Ted Kennedy. He has been a fighter for the small guy for a long time. I am looking forward to seeing him standing there when Sen. O becomes President O.

I knew he was a swimmer but didn't know about him being a fighter.

McCain will be 72 years old this Friday and his policies are the same policies as Bush. Do you want 4 more years of the same old policies that have our country in the mess that it is in now?

McCain is for NAFTA, and Obama is against NAFTA. Barack Obama will keep jobs in our country and he will fight for the rights of American workers.

McCain owns 7 houses and he will give tax breaks only to the richest of Americans who make over 200,000 per year. Barack Obama will give tax breaks to the middle class and the poor.

Will McCain have a military draft if he is elected President? He can't have a 100 year war without a military draft.

The Republicans are the party of the rich and the rich oil companies. The Democrats are the party of the people. Get to the polls in November and vote for Barack Obama and lets get a win for the people!

VOTE FOR BARACK OBAMA AND LETS GET A DEMOCRAT WIN IN NOVEMBER!

Man, I had a tear in my eye watching that. The strength of his conviction, his personality and dedication had me riveted. You'd better be there on the Senate floor January, Senator, or a lot of us will have a hard time forgiving you. :)

I was as well. With God grace Teddy will be there.

Also I heard Chris Matthews say something that had me tearing up.

He never saw a Kennedy grow old.

The hit me in my heart.

never saw a kennedy girlfriend grow old, either

Come on. You'll forgive him. If the left can look past his drowning a young woman, fleeing the scene and attempting to create an alibi then his simply not showing up in the Senate in January will be no big deal.

The ole lion looks pretty damn good for what he just went through. No doubt about it,
He will be back in January. I have a lot of faith in him.
