Ted Kennedy - one year ago - a life well lived

1st campaign - 1962
One year ago - on August 25, 2009 - thousands stood in line on the shore of Boston Harbor to file in respect past the casket of Senator Edward Kennedy. 
His death was a time of hope as those of us who believed in his mission and admired his courage in the face of his final illness rallied and remembered him, hoping that his message would carry the day on health care.  The voters of Massachusetts carried no such sentiment as they voted for the Tea Party-fired faux populism of Scott Brown who nearly succeeded in killing the still-misunderstood health care reform bill.
Patrick Whelan remembers the Senator in NCR.
