The death of an Icon. Edward Moore 'Ted' Kennedy 1932-2009

This is a sad day for America. Ted Kennedy fought for 43 years for healthcare reform and it's sad that when we're so close to having healthcare reform, he isn't here to see it through. I'm from Indiana and I heard more about Ted Kennedy than I did my own senators growing up. Of all the Kennedys, Ted has always been my favorite because he was the most human. Jack and Bobby have been pretty much been made into saints, but Ted wasn't ashamed to be seen as human. He will be missed.

I must admit, I was not at all familiar with Ted Kennedy but I did see the tribute for him on SBS News and what you said was also presented in that segment. That he had a human side to him who made mistakes but reassessed himself and took a step forward for the better.
