Ted Kennedy, who had been battling a brain tumor, died today. Often called the liberal lion, Kennedy was known as a fierce debater and a master mediator. he was respected on both side of the isle. Nancy Reagan said her husband could "always find common ground" with Ted, as he was known to friends and opponents, and called him"an ally and a dear friend. I will miss him."
He cared about the poor and those who had little, and fought to make strides on the liberal front under 10 presidents. His work and successful legislation is impressive, ranging from health care, civil rights, education, immigration among other key issues.
