Reply #15: Sorry to disagree, but that moment of silence was oh so telling

I could see her mentally calculating whether to contradict that statement, and in so doing, tacitly challenge the statement made by Ted Kennedy in his endorsement -- HE WAS EXPLICIT ABOUT OBAMA BEING AGAINST THE WAR FROM THE START -- and she knew, absolutely, it would be a fatal mistake. The one thing Hillary Clinton cannot absolutely afford at this critical juncture would be to make Teddy Kennedy angrier than he is now. I think that is aptly demonstrated by Bill Clinton's abrupt change in demeanor. Bill Clinton is absolutely humbled by Teddy's anger.
