Liz Cheney Perry endorses Mitt Romney.
Senator Ted Kennedy endorses Barak Obama (reported on CNN).
What does it mean? My hunch is that Gov Crist thinks he could be on McCain's VP short list, Mrs. Perry is in the ABMcC camp possibly for the same reason I am, and Senator Kennedy wants his brother back.
Bob Hahn points out that he predicted the Kennedy endorsement based on Caroline Kennedy's endorsement yesterday, which was a set up. We might speculate that Mrs. Perry's endorsement indicates something similar--no, not from her father. Think about it.
Since all this is pure conjecture straight from my crystal ball, let's make this an open thread for other opinions on the endorsements and what they mean, if anything.
