Ted Kennedy's upcoming endorsement of Obama is getting a lot of play. It's the lead story in the New York Times. The TV people are saying its a bridge to the Democratic establishment, to the old guard, to the Kennedy generation.
Now Marc Ambinder reports that Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius is also planning on endorsing Obama. This won't get as much play in the national media, but it will certainly matter in middle America. Sebelius will give the Democratic response to the State of the Union tonight and is an extremely popular Democrat in a red state.
And while we're at it, ABC reports that Toni Morrison will endorse Obama too. This likely doesn't matter at all, but as ABC notes, its interesting because it was Morrison who famously referred to Bill Clinton as the country's "first black president."
