Ted K. For Obama?

Is Ted Kennedy about to endorse Barack Obama? That's the rumor, being pushed particularly by Mark Halperin -- and there doesn't seem to be much denial from any involved parties.

The endorsement would be fairly surprising and extremely significant, it seems to me. And, it would certainly add intrigue to the "Can Obama Take Massachusetts?" storyline I wrote about in the current issue of the Phoenix.

Globe political reporter Lisa Wangsness has a similar story in today's paper, which makes no mention of the Senator Ted rumors.
