Kennedy Votes In Democratic Primary

HYANNIS (WBZ) ― Sen. Edward Kennedy wouldn't let his illness stop him from voting in the Democratic primary Tuesday. 

He cast his ballot just after 10 a.m. with his wife Vicki at the Town Hall in Hyannis.
 
Kennedy has been in treatment since being diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor after he had a seizure in May. He had surgery and a six-week course of chemotherapy.
 
On his doctors' advice, the senator has been working at home and will likely continue to do so through the fall.

In August, he energized the Democratic National Convention in Denver with a dramatic speech there.

The big race Tuesday involved Kennedy's friend, Sen. John Kerry, who's facing his first challenger in the Democratic primary since he was elected 24 years ago.

After voting, Kennedy wished for a "strong vote" for Kerry and a good turnout across the state. He said he hoped citizens would take the primary seriously.
