Strange Change: The Establishment Votes for Reform?

For all of you Obama fans out there, clamoring for change and completely enthralled with the charisma of Barack Obama, I entreat you to consider something. Today, Ted Kennedy endorsed Obama. See for yourself. For somebody who talks about how messed up Washington is, Obama sure has some entrenched establishment figures endorsing him (Ted Kennedy and Patrick Leahy for example).

It reminds me of the scene in O Brother Where Art Thou? when Governor Pappy O'Daniel is sitting in a restaurant with his son and two advisers. The dialog goes like this:

Pappy O"Daniel: "We need a shot in the arm. You hear me boys? In the god-damn arm! Election held tomorrw, that son of bitch Stokes would win it in a walk!"
Junior O'Daniel: "Well' he's the reform candidate, Daddy."
Pappy O"Daniel: "Yeah."
Junior O'Daniel: "A lot of people like that reform. Maybe we should get us some."
Pappy O"Daniel: "Reform? Reform? I'll reform you, you soft-headed son of a bitch. How we gonna run reform when we're the damn incumbent? Is that the best idea you boys can come up with? Reform?! Weepin' jesus on the cross. That's it! You may as well start drafting my concession speech right now."

So Obama wants reform, but he is pointing to all of the "experienced" people who support him...what exactly do you think you're going to get when he has to go pay the piper after the election? Does America really want a President who is indebted to Ted Kennedy? This should be a sign to the Democrats that Obama is the wrong person for the nomination. After all, Ted Kennedy also endorsed John Kerry in 2004.
