The DNC: The Great Ted Kennedy

I'd heard people say he probably wasn't well enough to come, but come he did, saying nothing could have stopped him, and that he would be there in Washington in January too.

So here he was, inheritor of all our expectations, purveyor of hope in the face of despair. He invoked his late brother JFK, and the great triumph of his dream to put a man on the moon.
He ended saying, "And the dream lives on."

Some say charisma, inspiring talk and dreams are trivial, but I know them to be the oxygen that fuels our American spirit. The end of slavery, the civil rights movement, putting a man on the moon, electing Barack Obama president... All the fruition of our wildest dreams.
