Ted Kennedy, the gentleman from Massachusetts, as I pause and review his life now, I can't help but wonder what might this country look like now, had he become president.

Many people have recollected their interactions with Sen. Kennedy. I also met him -- in the pages of a 34-year-old transcript I discovered, researching a book about the Vietnam War.

Senator Kennedy practiced "random acts of kindness" long before they were in vogue. It was Ted Kennedy's deep empathy for those who are sick and afflicted that will be his lasting legacy.

I was chatting with the very cool Lesley Balla about Twitter, when she logged on to Twitter to alert her followers of what she was eating and where, and we learned that Ted Kennedy had died.

Ted Kennedy's final act may be the thing the Democrats need to unify themselves, stop debating with the Republicans, and pass a meaningful bill that would bring affordable health care to the public.

There could be no better tribute to Sen. Kennedy or wiser investment in our own futures than to fix a broken system that threatens to bankrupt us while inadequately addressing cancer research.

Strange as it seems, the best description of Senator Kennedy may have been offered by another Teddy -- Roosevelt -- more than two decades before Kennedy's birth.

The day I met Teddy, I will never forget. The 2004 campaign pitted Kennedy's fellow Massachusetts senator John Kerry against an incumbent George Bush, and the battle had gotten bloody.

It's a shame that our political exchange has come to this, but the GOP is preparing to pigeonhole any reference to health care at Sen. Kennedy's upcoming funeral as playing politics.

As a key member of the Senate Armed Service Committee and longtime opponent of Don't Ask, Don't Tell, Senator Kennedy was a formidable advocate in this debate. We knew we had a fighter with us.

The broad, welcoming grin, the twinkle in the eye and the mirth I remembered were there, but our group was treated to something entirely different.

Kennedy was as much of a progressive force as this rotten system allows. With his wealth, he could've easily been a Republican and pushed for perks for the rich. Instead, he championed the powerless.

Typically, you could tell that Kennedy was coming down the hall because he was grumbling at someone or talking to his large dog, a Portuguese Water Dog named Splash.

For all of us who have survived Kennedy, we must take up the gauntlet. We must ensure that the "never say never" attitude that was his signature on health care reform, does not wither on the vine.
