This is likely to change nothing, but in the event of a crisis, the DNC could very well skip over Hillary to make a nomination.

That was my initial thought too. Clinton has spoken about her husband and the month of June several times since the media push began for her to quit. She has already apologized to the PC police about Robert Kennedy, as Obama did when he called a reporter sweetie.

For me, this falls into the same category as the media and liberals outrage over the president's comments about appeasement comment during his visit to Israel. PC and political gamesmanship. Nothing more.

Issues become meaningless and character assassination rises in value - especially within the beltway and with the MSM. Case in point, all the fal-de-ral about McCain's health and age after he released his medical records yesterday.

It's no different than Obama mentioning George Bush every time he refers to McCain. I'm not paying that much attention, but I have noticed that both names appear in the same sentence a lot. They know what they are saying. The links and impressions that are absorbed by the 'not paying attention too much' general public are probably at least as important as anything else they put out.

Since I live in Illinois and my vote as usual doesn't count, I've lost a lot of personal interest, but what does come through is that Clinton is running against Obama, Obama is running against Bush, and McCain sounds pretty good because he's really not running against anybody right now.

If Obama's supporters make a big enough fuss over Hillary's mention of RFK's assassination, they think she can be forced out of the race now and a barrier to Obama's ascension will be eliminated.

As a Republican, I think the sooner Hillary is out, the sooner the full force of the left's destruction machine will be turned on McCain and the Republicans.
