The fact is that Kennedy who opposed Johnson's Vietnam agenda entered the race on March 16, 1968, stating, "I do not run for the Presidency merely to oppose any man, but to propose new policies. I run because I am convinced that this country is on a perilous course and because I have such strong feelings about what must be done, and I feel that I'm obliged to do all I can."
McCarthy supporters angrily denounced Kennedy as an opportunist, and thus the anti-war movement was split between McCarthy and Kennedy. On March 31, 1968, Johnson stunned the nation by dropping out of the race. Vice President Hubert Humphrey, long a champion of labor unions and civil rights, entered the race with the support of the party "establishment," including most members of Congress, mayors, governors and labor unions. He entered the race too late to enter any primaries, but had the support of the president and many Democratic insiders. Robert Kennedy, like his brother before him, planned to win the nomination through popular support in the primaries.

Kennedy promoted himself as a friend of the underdog and promoted racial and economic fairness, an open door, non-aggressive foreign policy, decentralization of power and social improvement. A central axis of his platform was to embrace the youth of America. Big business was Bobby Kennedy's enemy. Hardly can this be said of Senator Clinton.

Kennedy had only been in the race for three months when he was killed.

Hillary's comparison is delusional. This primary has been dragging on and on and on.

Hillary is not a stupid woman. She is very bright. In no way do I believe that she accidently conjured up the ugly assassination of Robert F. Kennedy. Sorry but I believe she was not so nicely slipping another red herring into her campaign.
