In the span of a week, Senator Kennedy has:
1) Stood up against Rice
2) Stood up against Gonzales
3) Delivered a major speech exceptionally critical of Bush's Iraqi policy, which says that the only way to win is to leave.
A battle is being fought for the soul of the Democratic party. We're seeing Hillary searching for common ground on abortion, and we're seeing Kennedy position himself as the most vocal war critic. It's fascinating to watch Democrats working to define their future.
