    From Joan Walsh

    About Ted Kennedy, I'll only say: Any candidate that uses a white politician as a stand-in for a Latino leader deserves to lose California. And I'm sorry, Garry Owen, that you think I'm spending too much time on race, but I've lived here more than half my life and these questions are a matter of respect.
