Wow.
God bless him, and his family.

Ted Kennedy and the entire Kennedy family are a perfect example of what's wrong with US government. The family has produced absolutely NOTHING and has spent their entire existence in politics and they are all millionaires sucking off the people of the US. Kennedy is the perfect example of a career politician and why Senators should be limited to 4-8 yeras and NOTHING MORE!

oh boy....... another event to mask the real scenario

RIP Teddy

Let's not make this into a week long media circus

How about some privacy for the family in mourning

Life is short, let's focus on the future

Well at least he gets to face the music on Chappaquidic now.

I hate to disrespect someone after they are gone, but I just never had any respect for the man. He opposed freedom, and the Constitution.

He opposed most of what I think America stands for, or used to stand for.

So can't honestly say he will be missed.

The news is not unexpected but still very saddening.

JFK Jr. was of course killed in that plane wreck when he was still young.

Caroline is left of JFK's children, but her brief bid for the Senate seat vacated by Hillary Clinton showed that she's basically a private person who does not relish the spotlight.

RFK and Ted both had children but most of them are evidently not eager to enter the political arena. After what happened to so many Kennedys one can't blame them.

Ted Kennedy was a respected leader in the Senate and I, for one, will miss his influence for good in this country.

Even those who disagreed with him will probably be among the mourners.

I'm glad that he lived to see Barack Obama's inauguration at least, as he had worked so hard on his behalf.

I will not bash the man on the evening of his passing, I wasn't a fan, I did have some respect for his older brother JFK although I know all three of them abused their powers when time allowed so I'll just say rest in peace.

Now it's time to get the right person in his seat that will do the right things for the people not his pocket.

Peace out! @~~>~

My respects go out to his family.

May he rest in peace. What a great man.

This is NOT the time to debate healthcare and the stupid inconsistencies between minute differences in healthcare plans, and rumors, and all that.

He was a groundbreaking man and for all of those people who are like "Oh well," I probably have 600x the support for him to make up for all of you.

And he SHOULD be replaced by someone "like him" because otherwise the balance (joke of a balance) will be completely thrown off against the people who think "end of life care" is some grim death panel...

Ted Kennedy has been a family survivor, but at what cost? It is an end of an era with the Kennedy family. But Castro would be a much larger news blitz as he's survived many US presidents. RIP Ted.
