That was my first thought after reading this headline.

Ted Kennedy embraces Obama

And despite their attempts to deny it, it appears the Clintons fought hard for this endorsement.

Rejecting a personal entreaty from President Bill Clinton, Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass.) plans to endorse Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) for president in a joint appearance on Monday, Democratic sources said.

The embrace provides a dramatic rocket for Obama to ride into the frantic, nationwide campaigning ahead of the spate of Super Tuesday primaries on Feb. 5, the biggest day for nominating contests in U.S. history. Caroline Kennedy, the senator's niece and the daughter of President John F. Kennedy, will also appear at the rally, the sources said.

Democrats said the endorsement will help Obama with traditional Democratic groups where Clinton has been strong — union households, Hispanics and downscale workers.

And to think of all that Bubba and Jabba the Drunk have in common failed to sway him to support Hillary!

This may not make the Clinton campaign crumble, but it may make matters more interesting for a while.
