Ahhh Hah!

Kathleen Kennedy Townsend Stumps for Clinton TODAY, in Wilmington;

WILMINGTON -- How can a woman with leadership qualities pursue the United States' top elected office without being assigned nasty labels or "emasculating" the men around her? That was the question Kathleen Kennedy Townsend posed to about a dozen people, most of them women, who gathered at Kid Shelleen's restaurant Saturday morning to discuss the campaign of Hillary Clinton.

Townsend knows a bit about the intersection of politics and leadership. She is the daughter of the late U.S. Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, who was assassinated when she was 16 years old, shortly after he won the California primary in June 1968. She is also the former lieutenant governor of Maryland.

Her uncle, U.S. Sen. Edward Kennedy, her cousin Caroline Kennedy, and her mother Ethel Kennedy all have endorsed Clinton's primary opponent, Illinois Sen. Barack Obama.

Townsend said she has known Clinton for 25 years and said Clinton has what it takes to accomplish real change -- experience, perseverance, and the ability to work with those who disagree with her.

And then this;

"We keep saying Delaware is an important state," said Chris Lu, Obama's Delaware communications director who also serves as a top legislative aide in his Senate office. "We believe the state is very winnable."

"It's obviously an easy hop-skip-and-jump to New Jersey," he said, "and it's also a gateway to the Feb. 12 states, Maryland, Virginia and D.C."

Perhaps Obama is also trying to 'upstage' any campaigning for Clinton. That's what I think.

1. I heard an interview with her on Air America yesterday -- I liked her. She'll
be a good spokesperson for HRC.

3. It is very close,the last time I saw itt.
It was in the toss up column,I think it was Thursday. Regarding that, I know I said and very much wanted to vote for Joe,he is still on the ballot, but if it is close I think I am going to vote for Hillary. Sorry, I can't vote for Obama in the primary. If it looks like a runaway for Obama, I'll go ahead and vote for Joe. Given the makeup of Delaware it may well be a runaway for Obama,especially around Wilmington. Obama drew 12000 people in Dover,the capitol whic is just below Wilmington on Sunday.

4. I've been wavering a bit
I'd prefer that Hillary got the nomination, but I'm still leaning towards voting for Biden tomorrow. I'm so tired of politics.

5. My heart goes out to you guys. Don't know what I'd do. And even if I decided
to vote for a candidate, I don't know which one!
