Senator Edward M. Kennedy will endorse Senator Barack Obama for President during a rally on Monday in Washington. After securing an endorsement from Senator John Kerry and a commanding win in the contentious South Carolina primary on Saturday, Obama gathers momentum in his campaign for the nomination.
The Massachusetts senator had vowed to stay out of the presidential nominating fight, but as the contest expanded into a state-by-state fight — and given the tone of the race in the last week — associates said he was moved to announce his support for Mr. Obama.
On top of that, Caroline Kennedy writes a highly emotional and personal Op-Ed today also endorsing Obama. If this keeps up, the Obama campaign could become a runaway freight train.
New York Times
I want a president who understands that his responsibility is to articulate a vision and encourage others to achieve it; who holds himself, and those around him, to the highest ethical standards; who appeals to the hopes of those who still believe in the American Dream, and those around the world who still believe in the American ideal; and who can lift our spirits, and make us believe again that our country needs every one of us to get involved.
I have never had a president who inspired me the way people tell me that my father inspired them. But for the first time, I believe I have found the man who could be that president — not just for me, but for a new generation of Americans.
