Washington To Lose Last Kennedy

US Rep. Patrick Kennedy will not seek re-election. Patrick is the son of Teddy Baby. Maybe the Kennedy political dynasty will end at last.

The death of his father lead to his decision....nothing to do with the chance of not being reelected? Plus, he made his decision in a video clip? Why no news conference for this big announcement?

Say Goodnight Camelot!

The Kennedy political dynasty died with Bobbie, Teddy never had a chance of getting elected to POTUS and he knew it. None of the third generation Kennedys have ever done anything of note.

I think the title of the thread is a misnomer. Is it really a "loss"?

Not when it is used in the same context as: "My fat ugly girlfriend got lost in the swamp."
