Ted Kennedy's Name Booed at Town Hall; Turning "ObamaCare" into "KennedyCare" Won't Work - Video


Here is video of the late Sen. Ted Kennedy's name being booed when it was invoked by Illinois Democrat Rep. Jan Schakowsky's Town Hall Meeting yesterday as a reason to pass ObamaCare.

I think this shows that if the Democrats hope to turn ObamaCare into "KennedyCare" and get it passed, it's not going to work. Ted Kennedy was simply not a beloved figure for most of the American people. Invoking his name will not win over conservatives and most independents. In fact, it very well might drive people away.

2012 Possible GOP Contenders: Power Rankings

Here is a list of possible GOP Contenders for the 2012 Republican Nomination for President. They are listed in “Power Ranked” order based on our subjective analysis of how strong the candidates would be should they decide to seek the nomination. The rankings are NOT based on how strong the candidates would be in winning in a General Election against President Obama. The rankings will be adjusted day to day as events and information warrant. Rankings do not indicate an endorsement or preference for a particular candidate. Candidates included are those who have either indicated they may run, or individuals for which there is great speculation they will run.
