The Tide

As of Sunday afternoon, multiple news organizations are reporting that Senator Edward Kennedy will formally endorse Barack Obama for President on Monday, at the American University in Washington. (That University will forever be known as place where JFK made one of the most important speeches of the 20th century, an eloquent argument that soon evenuated in the nuclear test ban treaty with the Soviet Union, the first real progress in controlling nuclear weapons.)

The Boston Globe reports that Ted Kennedy will campaign vigorously for Obama in the upcoming Super Tuesday primary states. Here in California, Kennedy's popularity with the Latino community is expected to help Obama, as is the endorsement of California Rep. Xavier Becerra, the highest ranking Latino in the House.

In addition to the endorsement of the Democratic Party's most respected elder statesmen, it's also being reported that Obama will receive the endorsement of one of its rising stars, Kathleen Sebelius, Governor of Kansas. Sebelius will give the official Democratic response to Bush's State of the Union address Monday, and it's likely she will endorse Obama on Tuesday, when he will be in Kansas at his mother's birthplace.
