Status: offline 		How do you feel?  Why did Clinton cancel her New York rally appearance?  Do you think this will cause problems for the Obama campaign?  Do you believe that this issue, which most politicians agree is a huge threat to world, can be a mutual concern for both the Dems & Rep parties?

If no one knows, it probably won't hurt anything. Just saying.

Status: offline 		but Hillary has been campaigning for Obama.  that is why i posed this question.  from where i sit, both the dems & reps have the same position on this issue.  so why not show support by making an appearance?

Hilary is right and whoever invited Palin is wrong.

There could be numerous reasons why she chose not to show up.

Knowing the history does anyone really believe Hillary is supporting him for any other reason than the fact he is a democrat?
It isn't exactly hidden knowledge that the two cannot stand one another.

...because it would have been politically naive to attend and Clinton is anything but politically naive.

...maybe so, but reducing the issue to echoing an SNL skit doesn't do the issue any good.


You appear to be trying to create some political capital out of nothing.

See I thought this was more of a story than that...

WASHINGTON (CNN) — Lynn Forester de Rothschild, a prominent Hillary Clinton supporter and member of the Democratic National Committee’s Platform Committee, will endorse John McCain for president on Wednesday, her spokesman tells CNN.
The announcement will take place at a news conference on Capitol Hill, just blocks away from the DNC headquarters. Forester will “campaign and help him through the election,” the spokesman said of her plans to help the Republican presidential nominee.

...true, but that dynamic is why Clinton didn't attend.

..really? Then why give the thread a title that names Obama? He wasn't invited, was never going to attend yet you still felt it necessary to reference him. No trying to create political capital? Harumph.

...then start a thread on Iran/Israeli issues.

i seriously wanted to hear what others think.

Logical enough, philo, but it's scary to just imagine the circus that would result from such a thread - I feel the love already  .

......you could have just as easily titled the thread "will this cause problems for McCain" based on the idea that Ms Palin was politically naive enough to not drop out of a platform that would draw the inevitable SNL comparison. However, somehow i doubt that would have occured to you.

Palin couldn't drop out of this event, it fits in with the dog and pony show set for her when the UN comes back into session.  McCain is making a trip to introduce her to the various world leaders.
