Unless you've been under sniper fire like Hillary has, you really have no grounds for comment.

Well, this will decide whom to vote for for any undecideds.

Doubtful.

Well, this will decide whom to vote for for any undecideds. A very stupid remark at a very crucial time in the campaign.

Unlikely. It was an unfortunate remark, but it won't make the pendulum swing the other way.

It seems to have been just a thoughtless remark, which is a big step up from "mispeaking" about dodging bullets at a Bosnian airport. Anybody seen Bulworth, by the way?

"Robert Kennedy was killed by a "Palestinian" named Sirhan Sirhan angry about Kennedy's position on Israel."

Heh, with several CIA operatives in the room watching their islamo-bot.

Good "god" American politics is a childish and shrieky affair.

This moronic woman is the pits. One innuendo after another and peoople still give her the benefit of the doubt... please spare us. What she clearly wanted to say was that if I stay in and Obama gets cut down I and not any other Dem gets the nod.

As per the first post here....

It's over Hilary.

Better luck next time.

"It's over (, Hillary )"

Never give up! Never surrender!

skipthesong, sage advice. perhaps you did not read (yahoo news, google news, nytimes, etc.) that Clinton has said this before and is not an impromptu reference.

a really parsley, rosemary and thyme addition to a discussion already tasty. Nice of you to spice it up a bit.

but my spider senses get tingling when certain things are said, like this case.

this is amazing, my utility belt tightens for the very same reasons.

This may not "decide whom to vote for many undecideds" but it is hard to make the case that it wont have an effect on some key undecideds such as Gore for example. I would argue that she has made it easier for him to support Obama - I really do not think he wants to back Clinton.

> Clinton was foolish to use the word assassination when it was not really germane to the point she wanted to make.

yep, you are right on the money there. cannot fault you.

Why should Hillary Rodham Clinton apologize when Barack Hussein Obama's own wife is guilty of far worse "fear-mongering" ?

“I don’t lose sleep over it because the realities are that . . . as a black man . . . Barack can get shot going to the gas station,” Michelle Obama said in the interview, set to air Sunday night. “You can’t make decisions based on fear and the possibility of what might happen.”

Robert Kennedy's son is defending Hillary on this one.

The gloss is fading.

Obama is just another Chicago politician...

"The gloss is fading.

Heh, perhaps if you write it enough times it will change the hated Reality!

"Heh, perhaps if you write it enough times it will change the hated Reality!"

You have no idea how badly I want Obama to win nomination for his party.

It will greatly diminish the Clinton "legacy."

It'll create a rift among Dems that, if the country - and the world - are lucky, might force them to basically dissolve and reform their party.

And since HRC will have most likely won the popular vote in the Dem primaries (something the media doesn't like to highlight much) it'll take all the shriek out of their Bush-stole-da-2000-election-man "argument."
Madverts at 07:53 PM JST - 26th May

Obama will most likely win the nomination. And then, his only competition is an old fart that wants to by and large continue the failed policies of Bush Co. Heh, talk about competition.

Like I said earlier - choose the leaping ground wisely this time 'round to avoid the disappointment and discomfort you experienced back in '06 ol friend.
WhiteHawk at 02:34 AM JST - 28th May

Madverts, is there anything significant that distinguishes Obama from other Chicago polticians?

Other than he hasn't been under indictment yet?

As for Clinton's comment, it just exposes how hyper-sensitive leftists/liberals are to facts.
