Political Punch

I commend Hillary for her statement.
Hillary gave a sound example of previous primaries extending into June.

This was an excellent example that many people would remember or know about.

Hillary can and should stay in the race.

The first female president would be just as big of a target as the first black president...

I commend Bobby Kennedy Jr, for continuing to stand behind Senator Clinton. I for one cannot jump on the Obama bandwagon because he has yet to show me anything of substance...fluff is not enough to get the job done. We are talking about the presidency here. I am a state delegate for TX that decided not to submit by bid for candidacy for the national convention because although a democrat, I am not a happy democrat. I can't stand the way the superdelegates have let Obama and his supporters bully them into jumping ship, I cannot stand how this man skirts the issues, yet people feel he is qualified to lead this nation...why does anyone think he has what it takes to bring this nation where we need to be both at home and abroad?

I am a very passionate and emotional person, however, I never allow emotions to sway my decisions when it comes to politics...I vote logically...I am starting to think that I am one of a few.

Hillary: She has every right to go all the way to the finish line. It's pathetic when the media and her opponent's mouthpieces whine, "Please quit. Oh, stop running against our rock star wonder. He's so young! He can wave a magic wand cure all the ills of the worlld and we can get back to drugs and be permanent college kids and run up the tab some more and, hey, sponge on Mom and Dad and feel sorry for ourselves. To the pillory with Hillary so he who speaks for us can have a free ride. HA!

I recall that I heard about Obama's bitter gaffe first from Mrs clinton when I was litsening to her talk in a PA rally.So I do not understand why she is saying it is Obama's camp making ahuge deal of her serious insinuations about Obama's life.Her comments are way more serious than the bitter comment because her sia a threat to a man's life!She talked and talked at every opportunity about the bitter gaffe..what goes around comes around,she didn't even get any heat for this in my won opinion.

Right from the horses mouth.. Yet the Obama camp started this whole controversy, so much for the false unity he beleives in... Obama for the democratic party destruction is all this is..

Last year Hillary was trotted out as
the hot new vehicle that would take
America by storm. I didn't know that
Edsel has a full sized van.

Robert Kennedy Jr. offends me.

If I'm offended, I'm offended. I can't delegate my response even to a family member.

WILL: It was about Obama! She said and I quote, " My opponent"...... I don't think she meant McCain? Didn't you watch SNL? McCain wants her to keep up the campaign? NO, she first started her comments by saying, "My opponent wants me to........." LOL

This comment wasn't at Obama. Obama and his supporters are so arrogant to think anything Hillary says is about Obama. This has nothing to do about Obama. The editorial board asked her why she is still in the race. They never mentioned Obama in the question. She said she doesn't understand why people want her out. Historically, primary seasons have gone into June like 1992 when Bill was running and in 1968 when RFK was assassinated. She brought it up because it was the night in June when RFK won the nomination but was assassinated that same night. People remember the assassination as a June event. Other people of Hillary's generation who remember the assassination, remember it was june. Even the newspaper who was interviewing her didn't think much of it. It was the Obama supporter who hyped it up. This is another reason why Hillary supporters will definitely vote McCain in November as a strong protest vote AGAINST Obama and his nonsense and lies.

That woman Hillary is pure EVIL. I told you so!!!

This nation hasn't seen anything yet from what will come from that evil woman's heart!!!

I am so looking forward to a McCain landslide this November. Obama supporters are the mirror image of the radical right, they are crazed. I will not only cross over to vote for McCain this election but also work for him. Unify that!

Why is it OK for Obama to talk about MLK assasination for a whole month but it is evil for Clinton to even make a historical connection as to why she is still in the race! Clinton haters are turning sand-pile into a mountain to push her out from the race. Hillary may be evil for some people but count of popular votes indicates that she is loved and adored by as many dems as Obama has been and dragging her out from the race by spitting hatred towards her will just end the party's hope of winning the White-house.

If JFK has spoken about RFK, why is BHO supporters still paranoid over HRC's remarks ?

All this would make sense, except for the fact that Hillary is a "black widow", and the Clinton's have left a list of over 150 mysteriously dead friends and associates in their wake. If I were Obama I'd increase my security tenfold - at least!

too many inaccuracies here

RFK did not even get into the presidential race until MARCH of 1968 -
the CA primary was June 6th that year

He was only in the race for 3 months --
I was 15 and devastated to wake up on the East Coast June 7th to this horrific news

There was no reason on earth for Hillary Clinton to invoke this -

If the CA primary was held next week as it had been every other Presidential Election year - Sen Obama would win - he is way WAY ahead in every CA poll

Feb 5th was name recgonition day--
Sen Clinton should drop out on June 3rd with some dignity in tact or she may find herself without a career in politics

And to the person here who cites what the Clinton's "did" for this country?
I was a BIG Bill supporter - but in retrospect his indulgence was a big part of Gore's situation in 2000 -

The country has also been very good to the Clintons $107 million good since 2001

The country and the Clintons are even- they need to step aside adn stop monopolozing the party and the political climate of the country

There is too much drama with the Clintons and this country has enough real drama--
Two wars
An economic meltdown
A worsening global climate crisis
Lost respect and leadership in the world

It is not about the Clinton's--it is about us, our children, our future

Sen Clinton has shown a lack of grace and dignity and as Rep Clyburn said this remark was "beyond the pale"

I am an Independent, but have been leaning Democrat throughout this election. I am also female, but I have never sided with either Democrat, thinking that this would sort itself out and any Dem would be better than another 4 more years of Republican rule. This is only to put the balance back into the mix again. The pendulum swings. Now that Obama is mostly assured the nomination, I was thinking that Hilary should definitely be considered for VP. How better to unite the party. I have, however, changed my mind. She doesn't deserve it. Clinton doesn't get to have it both ways. She either is a smart suavy political operator who is ready on day one, or she makes juvenile and ridiculously inappropriate remarks demonstrating that she isn't the well put together, intelligent candidate I thought her to be...she doesn't get to have it both ways, but boy is she trying. As a female, I am disappointed that this is the woman who will go down as the first serious female contender. I hope she doesn't burn the party to the ground and make it more difficult for the next woman.

I'm so sorry that the election has degenerated into this! The Clintons have been very close to the Kennedys and she would NEVER say or reference anything that would be offensive to them or to Mr. Obama for that fact. I really think that Hillary is being treated very badly and I for one will not vote for Obama if he becomes the nominee.

Cleo, thank you for your insight. When push comes to shove I would not want an Obama supporter on my side. I appreciate what the Clinton's did for this country, funny how some forget.

Re: "This is not just about RFK, it is about Obama... For Hillary to suggest this could happen to Obama is chilling."

She never said that this could happen to him. She didn't even mention Obama!
You and the media have twisted Hillary's words and given them your own scary meaning.
