Kennedy Jabs at Romney's Credibility for Presidential Run

Heh heh.

Sen. Kennedy, in a pointed jab at his old GOP foe, says Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney still needs to prove he has the right stuff to be a credible contender for the White House in 2008.

"The real kind of question and challenge is whether he has the vision and the ability to mobilize both his party and the country in terms of national leadership,'' Kennedy said. "I think that's the big question.''

Please note that Teddy the Tick has already proven that he doesn't have the right stuff to be a credible contender. Hell if Kennedy was representing a sane state, he'd already be retired and drunk on the beach somewhere.

But the Senate's most prominent liberal said the Republican still has a lot to prove on the national stage to be a viable presidential candidate.
"It will now be the question as to whether the governor has the kind of ability to do it,'' Kennedy said. "It's a very high, fast track when you run for president. We just have to sort of wait and see.''

Teddy must be speaking from experience, since he failed so miserably while trying to ride the coat tails of his brothers.

During the interview at his Senate office, Kennedy said he expected to support colleague Sen. John F. Kerry should he run again for president in 2008.

The senior senator also said Kerry's 2004 experience as the Democratic nominee would prove to be a boon should he decide to run again for the White House. "He'd have a wealth of experience, knowledge from running the last campaign,'' said Kennedy. "He'd be a very, very strong contender. I'd expect to support him.''

Where's that breathalizer?

If I were Romney, I'd just ignore Teddy. Advice like that isn't worth the oxygen expelled to say it.
