Dueling Kennedys

Friday, 11:58 pm

Here in Massachusetts where the Kennedys are still well thought of and, well, maybe almost revered by many, campaign ads by Caroline and Bobby Jr have been running in advance of the primary on Tuesday. I’ve seen Caroline’s ad several times (for Barack Obama), but tonight was the first I’ve seen Bobby Jr’s ad for Hillary.

So...what exactly are they saying? If you liked Jack better than Bobby, then you should vote for Obama? Or if you liked Bobby better than Jack you should vote for Hillary? Or something? It seems so since both call upon their fathers’ legacies to tie in with or promote their current candidate. This is getting crazier by the minute. I think most of us liked both men and watching them being used like this is a little disturbing.
