Hillary Clinton was making her pitch in Massachusetts on Monday, while Ted Kennedy was in Washington, endorsing Barack Obama - and offering an unmistakable counterargument to the Clintons.

Yes, Clinton, as expected, beat Barack Obama by a wide margin in the Florida primary. But all the Democratic candidates had agreed months ago to boycott the contest after the Democratic National Committee stripped Florida of its delegates to punish the state for moving up its primary date. The result was a primary without purpose, a show about nothing.
