After an emotional video tribute on the first night of the Democratic National Convention in Denver, ailing but robust Massachusetts Sen.

I pledge to you that I will be there next January on the floor of the United States when Barack Obama is president of the United States,” Kennedy told a overwhelmingly enthusiastic crowd.
