Todd Beeton suggest the West is the best:
Interestingly, look where the campaign is sending him, per The AP:Kennedy is expected to campaign actively for Obama beginning later this week, beginning in Arizona, New Mexico and California. Caroline Kennedy, the daughter of John Kennedy, who was assassinated in 1963, will also make campaign appearances, officials said.No accident that they would choose these three states for Kennedy to stump for Obama as they have more in common than that they all vote on February 5th, namely their significant hispanic populations. This voting bloc is one of Hillary Clinton strongest bases of support (her 64%-26% win over Obama among this group in Nevada is widely considered responsible for her win there) and eating into that is a must for Obama if he hopes to win any of these three states.
So, how is Ted Kennedy uniquely qualified to be able to swing this base to Obama? As Chuck Todd put it on MSNBC earlier today (I'm paraphrasing,) you go into the homes of Central Valley (CA) Latinos and you'll see two portraits on the wall: one of the Pope and the other of JFK.
One wonders...is Al thinking of making his voice heard or keeping his powder dry so he can work with any ultimate Presidential contest winner?

1) The kennedy thing is very interesting.
2) If you think about it, Gore is acting a lot like an ex-president usually does: not taking sides, not making an endorsement, etc. (Kinda accentuates the tawdriness of Bill's recent behavior.)
