Can Hillary Endure?

SkyGem · #1 May 3, 2008, 11:48 AM

There are some who want for Hillary to pull out of the race. Then there are others who see what kind of person she is and what she has done that can help her in her quest for the White House. An important KENNEDY is one of them! Who says experience and know-how doesn't count?

Political Radar: Robert Kennedy Jr. Says Family Members Are Wrong in Supporting Obama

She doesn't look so experienced and knowledgable. I saw the queen of NY on OReilly; she is entirely too shallow when it comes to using water boarding to save American lives. I believe OReilly has McCain on this week; looking forward to seeing whether he is that simplistic. Frankly, I think these are platitudes that they are offering to the press and sheep amongst us, and don't believe for a moment they would turn down the CIA director (or FBI) if they requested presidential authority to waterboard to save innocent American lives.

She would be a disaster if elected . Still I want to see the Dems slug it out into August. As far as Kennedy goes ; he is involved in NY politics where Evita still reigns . He has a stake in keeping on her good side.

The bigger (and I mean bigger) question is :why has Teddy Kennedy kept his big mouth shut in recent weeks ? Actually Dan Henninger at the Wall Street Journal asked that very question last week.

Quote:

At Barack Obama's darkest hour, not one prominent ally came forward to support him. Everyone abandoned Everyman.
No prominent black clergyman came forth to make even the simple point that Jeremiah Wright's notion of the "black church" is but one point on a spectrum of faith. Rev. Wright, now written off as a virtual nut case, got more support from black clergymen than did Obama.
Barack Obama was bleeding by Monday and needed cover. Where, when he could have used them, were Obama's oh-so-famous endorsers: Jesse Jackson, Ted Kennedy, Oprah, John Kerry, Chris Dodd, Patrick Leahy, Tom Daschle, Amy Klobuchar, Claire McCaskill, Jay Rockefeller, John Lewis, Toni Morrison, Roger Wilkins, Eric Holder, Robert Reich, Ted Sorenson, Alice Walker, David Wilhelm, Cornel West, Clifford Alexander, Donald McHenry, Patricia Wald, Newton Minow?
Where were all the big-city mayors who went over to the Obama camp: Chicago's Richard Daley, Cleveland's Frank Jackson, Atlanta's Shirley Franklin, Washington's Adrian Fenty, Newark's Cory Booker, Baltimore's Sheila Dixon?
It isn't hard for big names to get on talk TV to make a point. Any major op-ed page would have stopped the presses to print a statement of support from Ted Kennedy or such for the senator. None appeared. Call it profiles in gopher-holing.

My guess is that they are jumping off the bus before they get thrown under it.
