   What else do they differ on?So RFK Jr. and Uncle Teddy have parted ways in terms of presidential endorsements, does that mean they have parted ways on other political issues too? I haven't heard much of anything from either of them about the Federal EIS that supported Cape Wind.
   Has one or the other of the anti-Cape Wind Kennedys jumped ship in the middle of Nantucket Sound only to climb aboard the Greenpeace fleet?

   RFK jr.
   yeah, well, no one makes the correct decisions all the time. so he's wrong this time. i'm not sure Ted Kennedy's endorsement of Obama did the man any good, anyway. Caroline's maybe, but not Ted's.
   endorsement's seem so old-fashioned now.

   what do endorsements mean?It is certainly not true that an endorsement can compel a bloc of voters to vote a certain way.  But was that ever really the case?
   Obama himself is saying that the endorsements of Edward and Caroline Kennedy helped him a great deal in California -- which may be true.  But he would say that, wouldn't he.
   I suppose the RFK connexion makes sense for Hillary, because like him, she is a carpetbagging Senator from NY.  As for her working for us the people, and not for special interests, well, perhaps RFK Jr. knows something that we do not know.  Of course I hope he is right.
   Actually, though, given what he said to DR when he had DR come talk on his radio show, when he seemed far to the left of every Democratic candidate, and impatient with all of them, his decision to endorse Hillary surprises me.  Perhaps he won himself an inside track of influence in exchange.
