The Kennedy Scorecard (so far)

Well, it's hard to keep track of all those wacky Kennedys -- in this election, anyway! Here's who we've heard from so far:

Kennedys for Clinton:
Kathleen Kennedy Townsend (daughter of Robert)
Robert Kennedy, Jr. (son, obviously, of Robert)
Kerry Kennedy (daughter of Robert)

Kennedys for Obama:
Caroline Kennedy (daughter of JFK) [video] [ad]
Ethel Kennedy (widow of Robert)
Senator Ted Kennedy (brother of JFK and RFK) [video]
Representative Patrick Kennedy (son of Ted)

UPDATE: Maria Shriver (daugher of Eunice) [added Feb. 3rd]
Over these past few years, I've watched Senator Obama inspire Americans from all walks of life to believe in real change and a new sense of hope and possibility. He's a magnetic force, drawing the nation together for the common good and galvanizing us all to help shape our country's future. Barack is so like Bobby, who struggled for the rights of the poor in the Mississippi Delta and Appalachia, traveled to California to stand in solidarity with Cesar Chavez and farm workers, and fought to end another war that cost so many lives. Today, we crave a leader with vision who can help us regain our lost humanity and rekindle our inherent generosity. With courage, caring, and charisma, Senator Obama is leading us toward a kinder, gentler world.
-- Ethel Kennedy (the latest to weign in)
