Caroline is not the only Kennedy to endorse Obama.

As reported by the Boston Globe yesterday, later today Ted Kennedy is going to endorse Obama.

This endorsement could be very important, as detailed in the article.

To me, Ted's endorsement is important because it continues a developing trend of Senate colleagues of Hillary's that have since the New Hampshire primary come out and said they don't think she is the best choice for the nomination. It started with John Kerry. Then Claire McCaskill. Then Ben Nelson. Then Tim Johnson. Then Patrick Leahy. And now Ted Kennedy. Johnson, Kerry, Leahy, and Kennedy are among the most senior--which is to say"experienced"--members of the Democratic caucus, and the fact that they are supporting Obama is a direct rebuff to Hillary's claim that she has superior experience.

More on Ted's endorsement and this trend later.
