The future Kennedys

Following Patrick J. Kennedy's decision to not seek re-election to the Congress, many has asked if this means the political end of the Kennedy dynasty, although Patrick Kennedy himself has said that "I wouldn’t count us out for good".

The Boston Globe claims in today's edition that "Kennedy's political future is murky", but mentions Joseph P. Kennedy III - a grandson of Robert F. Kennedy - as a possible prospect. Joe's elder twin brother Matthew Rauch Kennedy is, by the way, working in the Obama administration as an administrator to the counsel's office, but is said to be more inclined to pursue a business career.
