Hillary In Massachusetts Today
Showing Hillary speaking in Mass today. I didn't know Hillary had some of the support of the Kennedy's. CNN said the Kennedy's support is split between Barack and Hillary. Great news to hear. :)

1. Yup all of RFK's kids back Hillary

Ted's side with Obama and Caroline.

I have heard from some people with their ear to the ground that their is a split in the Kennedy's from apparently some don't want another famous family claiming the Democratic First Family name some Kennedy's think that if the Clintons have 2 Presidents in the family, that they will be the main family in the Democratic Party History not the Kennedy's.

Could that be possibly true, i don't know.

4. that's ridiculous- as is your claim that you've heard it from
people with "their ears to the ground". First of all Ethel is supporting Obama, her kids are supporting Clinton. And anyway there's hardly a chance that the Clintons will ever supplant the Kennedys. They're two completely different types. The Kennedy mystique is built, sadly, around tragedy, not presidencies.

2. Well I'm glad they mentioned it because
the Today show didn't. Only said Ted and Caroline were supporting Obama. RFK Jr. and Kathleen Kennedy Townsend have both endorsed Hillary. Another sister, Kerry also supports her but I don't think she has done an op-ed or anything.

Clinton will also be in Hartford, CT today for a town hall meeting. Our State is usually passed over during campaign season so I'm glad somebody remembered us.

10. I saw it!
:hi:


But like I said Ct is pretty much forgotten because we are so small. so I don't think our newspapers are considered "important" by too many DU'ers.

6. Just got back from her Hartford appearance
I waited outside in the blistering cold only to be told we couldn't get in, the folks on one side of the street were let in but I was on the other side of the street about 20 people back from the dividing line. I'm bummed.

8. Sorry you didnt get in but thats good news


This story is long from over. Clinton has a huge following and some people think they can roll that over. They better think again.

12. Sadly, this will not be covered as a MSM event as it would be if
this were an Obama campaign event. I guess that makes it an even playing field.

15. I'm sorry that you couldn't get in!!!
But i'm gratified that she had so many people attend that event. We had the same thing happen last Wed. In Hackensack and North Bergen here in Jersey. I was at the North Bergen rally and bus loads of people were turned away because the secret service sealed the hall, it was already beyond capacity.

13. That's what I like about Hillary, the woman has courage!!!!
When faced with adversity she shakes herself off and keeps going. She knows that Teddy is endorsing Obama today, but she still marches head-on and confronts her adversaries. You go girl!!! I've never voted for anybody just because Teddy supported them and a lot of people won't either. I always thought that Kerry was a terrible candidate for the GE and was proven correct.
