Today on the Menu: Politico’s Michael Calderone on Sen. Kennedy’s Death – No One Can Replace Him

Today’s news will be flooded with reports on Senator Edward Kennedy‘s life, legacy and death. He died late Tuesday night of brain cancer, at 77, leaving a huge hole in the US Senate. His legislation over the years has helped guide America’s health and aid initiatives, and as Politico writer Michael Calderone told us, there’s no current senator (that comes to mind) who can replace the “Liberal Lion.”
