How would you characterize Ted Kennedy's legacy? NOTE: I will delete any comments that in my sole judgment are mean spirited.

That's not to say he or his policies are not open to criticism, just be respectful.

Today's poll is posted in conjunction with National Night Out, when communities come together to fight crime. There will be a gathering tonight for National Night Out at Austin Park at 5:30.
