I know she’s brought down a TON of ire on the blogs about this soundbite. Lots of people calling for her to step down and/or keep taking the meds…
Even though I’m an Obama supporter, I think she simply misspoke. They both look dog-tired at this point. She could have been a bit more gracious about her ‘apology’ – especially as she seems to have missed the point about her inference re: Obama/assassination by concentrating instead on just saying sorry to the Kennedys.
Still, the Obama camp seem to be leaving it alone, so if they’re not worried, neither am I. I certainly don’t think she needs some of the things described (in detail) that I’ve read on the likes of Huffpost…
Bad luck too, on it running all over the Memorial Day weekend.
She’ll drag this on until the bitter end – that being around midnight of June 3rd. I think she’s thoroughly scuppered her chances, if she ever had any, of getting the VP slot, and I hope for her sake that she doesn’t suffer from another ‘foot-in-mouth’ moment before the inevitable conclusion of this bunfight.
I’d never vote for her if she was the nominee, and I’d have to think long and hard about withholding my vote, should she be chosen as Obama’s VP, but I think its best just to wait this out – she will eventually have to step down, and there’s nothing anyone (besides herself) that can do to dissuade or coerce her into doing it sooner.
I lived in London during Bill Clinton’s presidency, so only have a filtered – but largely favourable – memory of his time in office. But this whole campaign has lowered my estimation of them greatly. I know that alls fair in love and politics, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen two people so power-hungry (and obvious about it) in my life.
Roll on november, and lets hope this fiasco doesn’t drag on until the DNC.
