Seems like it although he is still very much alive! There don't seem to be any young Kennedy's at the moment who have the charisma to succeed in US politics, although there are probably some aspiring ones. The Kennedy history and name promotes too many expectations from the electorate. Either that or they have been rumbled in some scandal!

always liked Teddy Kennedy..stood up to all those right wing nutters in the US.

I met JFK once (very briefly) and when Robert was killed I was in London and signed the book of condolences at the Embassy.

Sometime later I got a "Remembrance card" sent through the post ... it did not say where it had come from, but the envelope was hand-written and the name Ethel Kennedy was in the top left hand corner. The others who were with me and also signed the book never received one ... so I suspect that a few "samples" were taken from the book.
