Hi bernor,

so tief wollte ich nicht schürfen, sondern nur auf den Kennedy-Touch verweisen und die immensen Mittel, die der aufbringen kann. Außerdem hat sich Ted K. verbeten, dass sich Bill Clinton in den Wahlkampf einmischt, zumal mit "rassistischen" Äußerungen.

Dazu kurz noch das (Auszüge):

WASHINGTON (AP) - Two generations of Kennedy politicians—Massachusetts Sen. Edward Kennedy and his son, Rep. Patrick Kennedy of Rhode Island—are endorsing fellow Democrat Barack Obama for president.

Obama's campaign said the lawmakers planned to attend midday event at American University along with his niece, Caroline Kennedy, who announced her support for Obama over the weekend.

Robin Costello, a spokeswoman for Patrick Kennedy, told The Associated Press in a telephone interview that the senator and congressman probably will campaign around the country for Obama...

Edward Kennedy's endorsement was highly sought after by all the Democratic candidates. Besides his status as a liberal icon and member of the Kennedy dynasty, Kennedy boasts a broad national fundraising and political network as well. "It's going to be difficult choosing," Kennedy said in October. "I've got a lot of friends who want to be president."

Caroline Kennedy wrote in Sunday's New York Times that Obama could inspire Americans in the same way that her father, President John F. Kennedy, did.

Also Monday, Obama picked up the endorsement of author Toni Morrison (Literatur-Nobelpreisträgerin 1993).

Morrison said she has has admired Obama rival Hillary Rodham Clinton for years because of her knowledge and mastery of politics, but cited Obama's "creative imagination which coupled with brilliance equals wisdom."

Für Hillary dürfte das alles sehr herb werden. Bloomberg halte ich, mangels Parteimaschinerien für aussichtslosd. Außerdem müsste da nur jemand "Berlusconi" rufen.

Danke jedenfalls für den Denkanstoß + Gruß!
