Two JFK kin endorse Obama

Â
In what’s seen as a blow to Hillary Clinton’s campaign, John F. Kennedy’s daughter Caroline and his brother Ted are endorsing Barack Obama’s presidential candidacy (HERE and HERE).
The nod from Teddy is especially important in that it gives Obama standing with traditional liberals. It’s also the result, if the rumors are true, of Kennedy’s distaste for what he sees as nasty campaigning in recent weeks by Hillary and Bill Clinton.
Kennedy is even said to have shouted at Bill Clinton during a recent phone conversation about the tone of the campaign rhetoric.
UPDATE: Here’s MORE on Teddy’s endorsement.
