Not that it "makes me sick"- but I think her explanation for why she said what she said makes sense. It was a stupid thing to say though. However, with Ted in the news so much, it's reasonable to see why she might think of other Kennedys- but it's unwise to talk about assassination in the midst of a race, especially when you're justifying why you are staying in, and your words can be taken to mean you are implying the other guy just might be killed. Try to imagine the opposite Mary. Try to imagine someone in the Obama camp saying something similar about Hillary. I suspect you'd be telling us it made you SICK that someone would say she should get out because she might be assassinated... Mary- all politicians makes mistakes, but part of what we "grade" candidates on is the kinds of mistakes they make while they are running. What if Hillary said something equally thoughtless about the leader of another country? Heck- I don't know how big a deal this is, and it isn't one to me, but it's another nail in her coffin in terms of her ability to speak without wiggling her toes in her mouth. AGAIN- if she's the dem nominee I'll still vote for her, but Mary, this WAS a mistake on her part.
