Hillary's strategy backfired on her. She was just waiting, just waiting for Obama to screw up so she can go in for the kill and take this nomination. She is the one who screwed up. Well, she blew it and blew it big. I guess we can assume she will not be considered for the VP.

What in the world was she thinking? I wouldn't have let the word "assasination" enter my vocabulary if I were her.

This is not the first time she has referred to those comments. I was applauded by her comments. She knows the Kennedy's are going through some very difficult times right now and to say what she said is very cruel. I live in Canada and that all thats been on the news up here. She is not a very well liked people in my area. I think she should bow out gracefully while she still can. They say sometimes you speak before you think. You think that she should be up on what to say since she's been doing this for such a long time. I'm not sure if she meant to say what she did. This was a very big mistake for her. Our elections here in Canada a very boring. One day of all Provinces voting then its over. I have been following the US Primaries but now I find them boring because they have gone on so long. Why do US Primaries take so long. Why not have one day elections or a weekend election.

Hillary's Bizarre RFK Comment - Swampland - TIME (http://www.time-blog.com/swampland/2008/05/hillarys_bizarre_rfk_comment.html - broken link)

I was going to post this link as well...

The problem I have with it is how she tried to backpeddle by saying that Ted was on her mind, and that this is the first time she mentioned it in her apology.

But she has been quoted WAY before Ted was diagnosed with his illness.

Hillary, I'm just shaking my head Whats up with that? what are we supposed to think?

That is the problem I have with it, espically with the political climate within the party right now, and the fact that Obama had to have Secret Service protection well before any of the other running mates since he was receiving a lot of death threats earlier in the campaign

Incredible. Hillary Clinton continues to try desperately to get sugar out of a lemon. To suggest that she stay in the race, NOT because she's the best candidate, NOT because she has proven to be the best, NOT because she holds the majority of the delegates, NOT because she holds the majority of the popular vote, NOT because she has won the most states, NOT because she is preferred by the most intelligent and most informed voters, NOT because she can inspire better than the others, NOT because she has put forth novel ideas like no other, NOT because she has experience that makes her obviously superior, NOT because she's more intelligent, NOT because she's more versatile, NOT because she has better ideas, NOT because Obama is a weaker candidate, NOT because she won Kentucky, Ohio, West Virginia, and any other backwards state, NOT because has faced and overcome more adversity, NOT because knowledge of her husband's time in office gave her an unmatched benefit, NOT because she won New York or California, NOT because she is preferred by the Mexicans or woman or working class whites, NOT because of Rev. Wright, NOT because Obama is black, NOT because Obama used the word "bitter", NOT because she's a fighter or the comeback kid, NOT because she has the momentum after Ohio, NOT because Obama won't debate her again, NOT because she can start from "day one, ...but because Obama might get shot like RK while campaigning. This is even MORE inappropriate now, ESPECIALLY SINCE RK's BROTHER TED KENNEDY HAS LESS THAN A YEAR TO LIVE WITH TERMINAL CANCER!

Folks, Hillary Clinton is the most pathetic, pure trash candidate of ANY office that I have EVER seen. You Hillary supporters should be ashamed of yourselves for being suckered into supporting her. Shows incredibly POOR judgment, poor judgment that SURPASSES the preference for the worst president in history, George Bush.

I saw that as well. Lets face it most people including news people don't get her remarks as she did not need to bring in Robert Kennedy at all. When I watched the replay of what she said the tone is that I don't know why people are trying to have me get out now I find that very interesting. Again making it sound like some plot. You get out because you didn't win. I get soo tried of the Clinton's trying to blame other people or groups for whatever happens to them, look at all that happened with Bill Clinton wasn't that the Right Wing thing trying to get him. I do believe she will loose big support for this one and I don't think the story will die over the weekend and I look for more superdelegates to move this along.
