I will say, though that I saw this on the news this morning and felt some sadness.<br /><br />Senator Kennedy worked extremely hard for Massachusetts, and I can't say enough good things about his work on behalf of the Commonwealth. We talk a lot about how a Congressman is supposed to represent his constitutents - I think Senator Kennedy did that better than anyone. The Commonwealth will miss him dearly...I just hope for the citizens of Massachusetts that they get an effective advocate in the Senate sometime in the near future. <br /><br />By virtue of living in Boston for 7 years (including college), I got to know a great many people who had worked for Senator Kennedy, at all levels. To a person, they spoke very highly of him. He expected a lot out of his staff, but he also was more than willing to help them out with their careers if they had proven themselves in his office. I can't even begin to count the number of stories I heard of the Senator, displaying kindness towards current and former staffers. <br /><br />Even as a staunch Republican, I very much respect everything Senator Kennedy did for Massachusetts, and the mark he left on the Senate. We talk a lot about "bipartisan efforts," almost making it cliche. However, Sentator Kennedy truly did work with Republicans, and was willing to compromise when he thought that the results would benefit the people of Massachusetts, as well as the people of the country.<br /><br />I think if you'd asked Joe Kennedy if he thought his sons would make an impact on the country, he would have said "Yes," without a moment's pause. But, if you'd told him that Ted Kennedy would make the biggest impact of them all, I don't think he would have believed you. <br /><br />Rest in peace Senator Kennedy.cseguinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811616037332448221.post-31821715173078163882009-08-26T11:35:13.070-04:002009-08-26T11:35:13.070-04:00Maybe America will now have a chance of survival ....Maybe America will now have a chance of survival .NOT minenoreply@blogger.com
