Following Obama's three-contest sweep yesterday, US Representative Patrick J. Kennedy and Attorney General Patrick C. Lynch took part in a conference call this morning with reporters.
I'll post more about this conversation after I'm off-deadline with this week's Phoenix, but one of the most interesting things was an observation from Kennedy.
Generally, in terms of policy, the congressman says, "Barack and Hillary are totally the same."
"The difference is who's going to mobilize the public to actually move on this stuff," and who will be able to motivate a Democrat-controlled Congress. "[Obama's] inspirational power" is the force, Kennedy says, that will move the country forward.
