The Obama campaign just sent reporters a link to today's appearance by senator Ted Kennedy on the El Piolin radio show, an insanely popular program with Latino voters all across the country. The affection for Kennedy in the immigrant community is well-known to be important to Obama, but this is an even bigger deal:
"I'm committed to coming back on the immigration bill and Barack Obama will be with me," Kennedy told radio host Eduardo Sotelo, according to the campaign's summary. "He is the one candidate who has said he can do this in his first term."
That's a huge promise. And the implication of Kennedy's statement is that Hillary Clinton isn't committed to prioritising immigration reform, which could hurt her big-time if it gains traction in the national dialog.
