On the heels of his big win in South Carolina on Saturday, Caroline Kennedy has endorsed Barack Obama in an OP/ED the N.Y. Times. She makes a very compelling argument for Obama, stating “My reasons are patriotic, political and personal, and the three are intertwined.”

I am a great admirer of Hillary and Bill Clinton. An amazing team of politicians that our nation has been fortunate to have had as leaders.
