Naturally im a big Kennedy fan, theyre what everyone in politics wants to be. Amazing orators, who do the work to match.
Teddy is kind of the forgotten one (he didnt get shot!), he replaced Jack as Senator for Massachusetts in 1962 (when Jack became President) and is now the longest serving senator and I had forgotten about his greatest speech ever - and its right up there with Jack's innauguration address. So here is my favourite Kennedy line, its taken from Teddy's concession speech when Jimmy Carter defeated him in 1980 for the Democratic nomination (Reagan of course won the election proper anyway):
For all those whose cares have been our concern, the work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives, and the dream shall never die.
