I saw this yesterday: http://thepage.time.com/halperins-take-five-reasons-why-the-kennedy-endorsement-is-a-big-deal/ Check out reason #1: "He [Kennedy] has a huge following with Hispanics, a big deal in California and other Super Tuesday states, and one of Obama’s weaknesses." I don't know if that following is transferrable since Kennedy is white and Obama is not, but it would be interesting to see how it carries out. I think Kennedy's announcement comes at a good time though, right after a big win and right before Super Tuesday. Polls had Obama trailing by quite a bit in CA and NY; we'll see if the SC win and the Kennedy endorsement shake things up. Great article, D!
