wife, daughter, 3 staff, 2 pilots... bad weather.

For about 20 minutes there was speculation that Ted Kennedy was with him since they had been hopping about campaigning together. At the time Ted was on a plane back to DC.

That would have made headlines around the globe.

Its knocked the sniper off of the lead story slot.

The flag on the White House has already been pulled to half staff.

:sad:

The Dems can't catch a break this election. Firsy Paul Toricelli & now Wellstone. As far as issues go, it's war against Iraq, the Sniper, or some other unsettling news.

A sign from GOD ALMIGHTY?

I would buy that theory if Ted went down with him... but, alas... no.

Didn't Teddy make a deal with the other side?
