Sen. Ted Kennedy makes surprise appearance
I was there. After the tribute was shown, the Senator made his appearance. I can’t tell you in words what it felt like: the tremendous adoration and respect for him was palpable.

I started this blog to talk about local politics, specifically Norfolk politics. It is impossible
to talk about Norfolk in a vacuum, so you'll also find some regional, state, and national politics. And sometimes, no politics at all.
The inspiration for this blog comes from one of Virginia's most respected forefathers:
"I know no safe depositary of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion by education. This is the true corrective of abuses of constitutional power."
Thomas Jefferson, 1820

I was watching on the big screens in the Big Tent. You could have heard a pin drop in there.
Several people, including myself, shed a tear, knowing that his time was limited and knowing how much it took for him to be there.
I will never forget that night.
Thanks for posting this tribute to Senator Kennedy. It is heartwarming.
Let us all work hard to make healthcare reform a reality.
