Wake up and smell the coffee. RFK is finally growing up. He is a rich kid who has ridden the rails of his family's name and reputation far enough. I have admired his plain talk and support of the right causes. But I have always been bemused by his naive misunderstanding of the realpolitiks of the world.
You can't go through life always wearing those rose-coloured glasses. As much as supporting the real alternative to the Bush agenda, RFK's endorsement is a signal that he wants to get involved in the mainstream of American politics. Watch him in 2012 or '16.
As for your author and his conspiracy theories about suburbs and radical views on businesses, RFK has just proven that if you want to make real change, you have to work within the system, not rail from the outside.
It's like the NDP, Liberals and Conservatives in Ontario and Canada. Everyone knows that the real change to society for the good (and sometimes for the not so good-witness Harper-comes from the mainstream parties. The NDP can rail all they want, they will always be on the fringes.
RFK is coming out of the cold, and I applaud that.
