Barack Obama's campaign is hoping for a surprise convention appearance from Massachusetts Senator Edward Kennedy, the ailing party elder whose January endorsement electrified Obama's campaign, and who has sought to pass his family's torch to the young senator from Illinois.
(...) "Things are day to day," said the Kennedy source said, saying Democrats shouldn't count on his presence.
His spokeswoman, Melissa Wagoner, called an appearance "extremely unlikely."
But another two people familiar with the plans said Kennedy was likely to appear, with one saying he has a "better than 50 percent" of making it to the convention.
(...) "My three children are here, lots of cousins are here, obviously many of the Robert Kennedys are here," Caroline Kennedy said on Meet the Press Sunday. "It's the 40th anniversary of [Robert F. Kennedy's presidential] campaign, so I think for all our family, this is incredibly emotional."
