Has Ted Kennedy's political power disappeared with his grim diagnosis? Hillary seems to think so, she is now threatening to take her case to the convention floor to win the nomination. If Ted Kennedy had been diagnosed 2 months earlier would Obama have become the front runner? This may have been the event that Hillary was praying for. Something to put the nomination back in play.
