So me and my mom were watching the news earlier and it showed Obama and the Kennedy's speaking in Washington, DC earlier....and we were talking about the situation and what it means. My mother voted for Bush twice and is a fairly conservative person, but as of lately she favors Obama alot.

Anyways, getting to the point. A random thought came to mind. While its probably NOT going to happen at all....what if after this endorsement and Obama wins the nomination he actually choses KENNEDY as his running mate? I asked my mom the question and she was disgusted, she said she wouldnt be able to vote for Obama then if that were the case. What do you think? Im just curious...

I don't think Ted Kennedy would accept the demotion.

I'd agree.  That would be a tremendously retro action, and 1980 wasn't a good year for the Democrats.

If he was so stupid as to do that then he would deserve to lose the election (as he surely would).

Ted Kennedy is 75 years old, and second in seniority in the Senate.  He will NOT be going anywhere, except the grave.

Neither Obama nor Kennedy is stupid enough to think this would be a good move.

He's the drunk that crashed his car and then claimed that "getting help" proved what a good example he was setting to other drunks.

That's the least of what he's done.
