I do know that Jackie Kennedy admired and revered Hillary Clinton. I am an Independent who is only interested in who is the most qualified and who has concrete plans to fix what is wrong in this country. I have studied all of their records and future plans and Hillary Clinton is by far the most qualified. Who cares who Caroline and Teddy Kennedy endorse.

I don't expect you will see any other comments like this one posted here,,, that is ,,if the CNN MONITOR allows this comment to be posted,,, Hate and snappy one liners with total disregard for respect or compasion towards a fellow human being that has served his country seems to be all that is welcome here.
