'Win One for Teddy,' Say Dems Pushing for Health Reform

Democrats are hoping that Kennedy's influence in death may be even
stronger than it was when he was alive as they push for President
Obama's top domestic priority. Democratic officials hope that invoking
Kennedy's passion for the issue will counter slippage in support for
heath care reform.

Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn., a member of the Senate Health, Education
and Labor Pensions Committee chaired by Kennedy, has been the
panel's point person on health-care reform in Kennedy's absence.
Today Dodd said that he hopes Kennedy's death will revive a spirit of
bipartisanship.

Ted Kennedy was the paragon of modern liberalism. Dems and libs
revered him as a saint. But less than a day after his death, they're
exploiting it as a cheap prop for their floundering agenda.

Are libs wincing that this could cause a backlash? That's what
happened when the Paul Wellstone Memorial turned into at

Question for Chris Dudd. When has Kennedy EVER done anything
bipartisan?

Public gagging at the media coverage will hopefully stop this
Kennedy nonsense. Yet we must recall P.T. Barnum's claim
"you will never lose money underestimating the public's taste."
