This one won't really change the court that much. In cases that were close where he could have been the swing vote, Kennedy voted with conservatives 71% of the time. He wasn't the moderate a lot of people make him out to be.
The one the Dems should be worried about is Ginsberg and they should still be pissed about having a seat stolen from Obama. If I were a Democrat running during this midterm I would talk about that stolen seat and the importance of controlling the Senate for confirmations every time I opened my mouth.
