It was a dumb thing to say That about sums it up for me.

<<<Mary, you just don't mention assassination during a campaign. It's tempting fate and in terrible taste. >>> If anyone should be offended by the mention of Robert F Kennedy's assassination it would be the Robert F. Kennedy family. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. was not offended (he is a Clinton supporter). He said that the assassination was a historic fact. As far as tempting fate is concerned, we are in unchartered waters. We don't know if there are more racists than misogynists out there ready to do harm. But it does not seem like that Hillary is scared off by that possibility. That should say something about her courage. Offending people's sense of taste is very subjective. But, that seems to apply more to Hillary than anyone else. People are offended by her clothing, her hair style, her laughter, on and on....

The reaction to what she said was very intense because of Clinton's past with regards to Vince Foster and now Billary's attempts to raise the issue of race. It is very likely that some people are voting based on race. But it is not for the candidates to draw attention to that fact as Hillary has done and Obama hasn't. I would like to draw your attention (sounding like a broken record) to John Edwards telling the voters that he does not want their vote if they think Barack/Hillary are not good candidates because of their race or gender. With that single remark, Edwards earned the respect of the entire nation because Americans love those who not only know when to seize an opportunity but also know when to forgo an advantage." Thank you John Edwards. Hillary continues to hover in the domain where she would like to seize the opportunity arising from an incident to her opponent which others consider bad but she considers it to be good to further her aspiarations. Time for her to take back her bark in Ohio which is "Shame on you Obama" and ponder seriously if that applies to her from here on out.
