Elm Smith on Kennedy


“If it had been my call to make, the political legacy of Edward M. Kennedy would have ended at Chappaquiddick… But the words that come to mind for me as I consider his second-chance legacy are the words he used to describe why he had backed Barack Obama for president…Obama, Kennedy said, is a man ‘who refuses to be trapped in the patterns of the past.’”

Dear friends,

On the link below is a piece by the incomparable Elmer Smith of the Philadelphia Daily News, regarding the recent passing of Senator Edward Kennedy. I must say: I couldn't have said it bnetter than Elm has. Enjoy!
