I don't believe I have anything substantial to add to the long eulogies that have been pouring out in the last several days, but I certainly want to acknowledge this mournful occasion. Ted Kennedy championed so many causes that have been instrumental in moving our country forward in the last 50 years. He will forever be our Lion.

"We know the future will outlast all of us, but I believe that all of us will live on in the future we make."
— Ted Kennedy, Dec. 1, 2008
