Kennedy is "undecided"
Despite Kennedy's prior statements that he will not challenge the election, his aide in Boston today claimed that Kennedy has not decided on a position.

I was in a meeting today with about a dozen people in Kennedy's office. We were well received by an aide who listened to all of our concerns and said that he would pass them on to Kennedy.

1. Time to call Sen. Kennedy
He should stand up. He knows what is right and he really doesn't have anything to lose.

2. 1/4 = no challenge, 1/5 = undecided, 1/6 = standing up.
Teddy will do the right thing

5. Kennedy is a pretty heavy guy
I hope that fence doesn't collapse under his fat ass.

Sorry, just a little bitterness creeping in. Here's hoping.

6. They won't say a word
Not one Senator will admit to their constituents that they will stand until they actually do it.

There are some things that it is better for them not to announce their position on until they make it completely public.

In August '03 I was told by a JK insider that Feinstein would endorse JK in Sept '03. I had recently sent her letter asking her to. A few days after I was told she would, I received a reply from her stating she was not endorsing anyone at this time. I knew better. She endorsed JK when I was told she would.

So keep calling and keep emailing... there will be some who will stand up. I know this because someone I trust past that along to me.
