Audio: Bakst interviews Rep. Kennedy on Obama choice

Journal political columnist M. Charles Bakst interviewed U.S. Rep. Patrick Kennedy this morning, a day after the Rhode Island Democrat joined family members to back U.S. Sen. Barack Obama for president.

The congressman, his cousin, Caroline Kennedy, and his father, U.S. Sen. Edward Kennedy of Massachusetts lent the power of the Kennedy political dynasty to Obama, despite a closer personal and political relationship with fellow presidential contender, U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton, and her husband, former President Bill Clinton.

Listen to two audio clips from the interview:

Audio: Hear Patrick Kennedy describe speaking with Sen. Clinton for the first time since his family endorsed Obama, after the State of the Union address last night. 2 min., 16 secs.

Audio: Hear why Patrick Kennedy believes Obama will be a better candidate in the general election when it comes to the issue of the war in Iraq. 2 mins., 37 secs.

Your turn:
React to the Kennedys' backing of Obama
