32. I think of Mitt as a Boris Karloff with tons of money.
just about as much make-up when he appears.

2. He has been likened to RFK, JFK, and MLK many times because of the enthusiasm he draws
and he's about to become the nominee. Point blank, it is not okay to cite an assassination as a reason to stay in.

He's Barack Obama. An original. No need making comparisons to other past great leaders. He'll stand shoulder to shoulder with them by his own.

17. WTF?
This is my first (and only) post on this silly subject.

I fully believe that Hillary's comment was intentional to put her back on the radar screen.

So what is your comment about? Did anyone make any comparisons between Obama and RFK? Hillary was comparing HERSELF to RFK. In your mind, is she RFK?

25. So psychologically she identifies herself as RFK as a politician
Ergo she is afraid of Assassinating herself? Oh, I get it, like Mark Chapman who drilled my Hero John Lennon, being CRAZY he thought he WAS Lennon and committing suicide..

So instead of slamming Clinton, we need to put her on a Suicide Watch?

Sure, why not?

33. Definitely not! He is firmly rooted in the middle class and doesn't have family money
Not a slam ever on RFK but although they both speak for the common person their backgrounds don't have much in common. In fact - I don't think RFK was even part black.

34. True - he's an empty-suit with a paper-thin resume
Spouting "hope and change" with utterly no former precedent or substance of such. Obama has the power to sway a select group with rhetoric - and. nothing. more.

52. Didn't Caroline say Obama was like HER father? JFK?
I believe she did- and while JFK and Bobby had different skills and qualities, they were both exceptional men, and excellent leaders.

The words Bobby's only living brother uses to describe Obama, and the confidence he has in O's being what our nation needs, also speaks with more credibility than your assessment does, to me- DarthKitten- (no offense intended)

peace~

Also, you're coke analogy is funny. Hillary had the strongest democratic brand in decades behind her, and she still blew it. Don't talk to me about "marketing campaigns"
