It's one thing to jump the gun. It's another thing to jump the gun in committing yourself to a losing candidate. According to the AP:

Sen. Edward Kennedy said Wednesday he would back fellow Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2008 -- even if Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton also pursues a White House bid.

"If he runs, I would support him," Kennedy told The Associated Press in an interview at his Boston office.

.... Kennedy called Kerry, the 2004 nominee, an "able, gifted and talented political leader."

Were we watching the same candidate?
