Poll question: What is more significant the NY Times endorsement of Clinton or Caroline Kennedy's op-ed for Obama?
Today's Times endorsed Clinton while in an Op-ed Caroline Kennedy wrote a piece supporting Obama. Which do you think will have more impact?

3. This was Caroline Kennedy's first presidential endorsement since 1980.
That fact alone makes it carry greater significance.

5. NY Times keeps losing more and more credibility
The latest was hiring that lying NeoCon Kristol. People with any kind of progressive attitude no longer put much weight on the editorial board of the NY Times.
A lot of people, both moderates and progressive, recall the Kennedy years with fondness. Caroline's endorsement will mean something to many people.

6. In reading the piece, I couldn't help but think about JFK Jr also. I wish he was still alive. nm

7. me too
He has had so much mud slung at him that people have forgotten how great he was. And the sad thing is that it was all gossip
and innuendos. It was how the GOP perfected their character assassination skills. He was a great president and the people loved
him.

9. hehe. I was talking about his son (Caroline's brother)
I am a little too young for the JFK era, but my parents tell me he was great.

10. sorry, when I see JFK my eyes mist over
it was such a sad loss, he was so loved, and now we have never had so hated leaders in office and nothing is done by our Congress
to impeach them. It was sad about his son as well, a loss for the family and the nation.

8. Carolyn Kennedy bacause she has been incredible in
all her convention/rally speeches and has enormous integrity. She (and Ted) are the remaining real links to JFK. That she is not a politician is a plus. What she is saying seems heart felt.
