I'm not one of the Massachusetts residents who worships at the Alter Of The Kennedys, but the reason I like Ted is that he's always worked to improve the lot of the little guy. All the Kennedy brothers did and he's continued that practice.

They've all had screwed up private lives, but I've supported Ted because of what he does in his job. He's always fought hard for the rights of the average and/or disadvantaged people (as opposed to the rich) and it's nice to see him being recognized for it. image
