"I love some things, and don't love some other things."

Quite really.
I thought the same thing. Is that "the little guy"?
YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
THE LITTLE GUY!!!
luckily it wasn´t big bill
I don't get the copy at all. :(
Ted Kennedy was the youngest of the famous Kennedy brothers. The copy is suggesting that as the little brother, he learned to stick up for the little guy. This draws a parallel between his personal life, and his political career. (Please, note to anyone: I don't want to argue about his political career or personal morality. It is enough to know that his career COULD be characterized as 'sticking up for those who are less powerful', and is characterized that way by many of his supporters).
Cool photo, three kids that really change the world.
Except for the weird shirt condition, this ad rocks. Very strong and emotional.
