Sen. Ted Kennedy's 10 Most Memorable Moments (Video Tribute) By history 

Senator Edward M. Kennedy died at 77 today, after a long battle with cancer. The Lion of the Senate had a huge impact on the Democratic Party, Congress and the nation. It's been almost exactly a year since Ted Kennedy's speech at the Democratic National Convention last year, which cemented his status as a living legislative legend. This list is my tribute to Ted Kennedy's passion, his way with words and his impact on the country and on this particular political junkie specifically.

These are the moments that mean the most to me when considering Kennedy's legacy -- from the fire of his speeches on the Senate floor to the disarming charm of his attempts at singing in public, this is what I think of when I think of Senator Edward M. Kennedy.
