My mother endorses Barack Obama, all of my friends endorse Barack Obama, and two Kennedys endorse Barack Obama: Ted Kennedy and Caroline Kennedy both.

But for the first time, I believe I have found the man who could be that president — not just for me, but for a new generation of Americans." Via the New York Times and Chris Abraham
