Comments on: Women's group slams Kennedy for 'betrayal'

Irresponsible statements like this only serve to divide the democratic party and distract from the real issues. If this woman's group would have thought about that before making this unfounded claim, they would have realised that by making it they are in fact hurting their cause. Think about this for a second; Senator Clinton wins the democratic presidential nomination. She is running in a two party system. In one of those parties her family is reviled, making cross party voting much less likely. Now add to that the alienation of those within her party who voted for obama; roughly 1/2 of her own party. Each party makes up about 1/2 of the total votes cast in each presidential election. Do the math, they're shooting themselves in the foot.

Based on the this move by the "National Organization for Women" – you can clearly see what grounds they will be basing their vote on. It certainly won't be whose best for the job – their vote will be strictly based on the candidate's gender. Sad!

I am a 47 year old male. I have no problem with a woman being the next president.
Everyone is talking about change but when Bill left the office 8 years ago, we had a surplus of money and we were not spending 300 million a day a a war. wouldnt that be change enough to get the economy back on track and get us out of debt.
What do we really know about this 46 year old afro american. he votes present when he doesnt what to answer a question. He has Oprey backing him money wise. So why hasnt the press been all over Oprey about donating all that money to a black canidate. Does that make her racis? Shes never backed anybody before but now she backs a black man. I wish the press would leave the Hillary alone for a while. I think the people of Florida spoke last night almost 1million of them .
The Republicans fear Hillary, That is why the Republicain owned news stations are always bashing her. If you people want a change you better open your eyes Its Hillary not Obanan. Because is the Hillary doesnt get the nomination we will have a repubican for 8 more years and 8 more years of the same old Bush b.s

Let me point out what Chris Matthews asked Hillary yesterday:
Do you have control of your MAN? I suppose I thought that was an ok
question. But was the question more to the point, do you have a handle
on him in your campaign? Isn't that rather strange, why didn't he ask
Obama does he have a handle on his wife, when she stated, blacks need to
wake up. Trampling on Hillary, he also said yesterday, that all the
"Guys" are great candidates. He is a presistent critic who doesn't get it, and
his bias shows daily. It's so staged, and so one sided, and so sexist.

All the contrived coverage of race has everybody in an uproar. Don't you
think cnn and others should be more responsible regarding racism and
sexism in the political arena?

The ideal that the Kennedy's will inject more juice into Obama's campaign
for real change and real hope just echoes the moneyed elite and their
jewels. They want you to buy in the idea that Obama is the good man with
ideals of Hope and Change. Saying that, let us remember WOMEN have
been in the Good Fight for Change for over 300 years in America.
Hillary is a strong woman, that is why she will win. Keep an open mind
with the upcoming months ahead.

I take pride when Hillary focuses on the issues. She fights for
Human Rights, and will restore intergity to our government. I am proud
everytime the Clintons open their mouth, and I am proud everytime NOW
opens it's mouth.

This isn't a fishing expedition, it's presidential contest, and Hillary is out to WIN.
You can trust the women voters!

This move by Now has hurt their credability and has done no favours for Hillary.

This is hypocritical at best. Does Now not believe that all are entitled to Freedom of Choice? Is a woma's Freedom of Choice different from a Man's? Is Ted Kennedy not free to support who he wishes?

And to say that Ted Kennedy should have supported Hillary out of gratitude for her help is more than pathethic! It certainly didn't look like Hillary took any offense over his choice of support last night. So why should Now?

It seems apparent that the Now Movement needs an election, for a leader. One who can move them in the right direction! The member who authorized this ridiculous public statement for Now should be releived of their duties immediately or the organization should hire someone that has experience in PR.

What a missed opportunity to talk about real issues.

It is insulting at best to think that biggest point dividing the two democratic hopefuls boils down to race or sex. The reason that women have the rights they have today is because they road the waves of justice rippled by the Civil Rights Movement. NOW, Hillary, the former Goldwater girl, will have her day when and if she is ready to focus on the issues and not the smoke, mirrors or tears.

What is particularly disheartening is that she had to cry in NH to become more likeable. I think If ever I felt belittled as a woman, it was at the point when she played into emotional steriotypes to win the polls, "heard you and found her voice."

Some thoughts: 1.) Reminds me of when the NAACP called Condoleeza Rice and Colin Powell "uncle toms" for serving in the Bush Administration... 2.) Gloria Steinem must be a racist for not endorsing Obama...duh. She must just not be ready for a black president. Maybe it's the cultural stereotypes of black men that inform her organization's decision to brand anyone supporting a black presidential candidate as sexist? 3.) I bet Hillary's unsavory campaign is behind this to some degree... 4.) Where do any of these people posting things like "Go Hillary! Hillary will win!" come from? I've never met any of you before...I'd love it for one of you to point to a poll showing Hillary having a better chance in the general against any of the Republican candidates than Obama. Republicans are looking forward to a Clinton candidacy, and fearing an Obama candidacy. That's telling. When all her skeletons come out, she will be completely destroyed. If she's lucky, Hillary might beat Huckabee and Giuliani, but that's about it. She'd probably even lose to Ron Paul. 5.) It must be a cold day in hell. Republicans everywhere are defending Ted Kennedy...

If in fact Kennedy was late in supporting Title IX, etc. then there just might be more than his objective endorsement here. While sexism and racism do exist and are over-emphasized in this election so far, a person's actions shouldn't be automatically dismissed if there is a telling history either. As Shirley Chisolm duly noted, racism is a beast, but misogyny is her mother in American politics.

People who abandon their friends at the moment of need should be ashamed of themselves, men and women alike. If we as people advocate for equal opportunities in all life's endeavors, then men or women, black or white who have the experience to serve our great country should be equally hailed, supported and admired. It appears that in this election cycle, not only are there men who cannot and won't accept the idea of a woman becoming a president of the United State, surprisingly, there are women who are in the same category. The like of Senator Claire McCaskill, Kansas Governor and Arizona Governor. These women are equally guilty of betraying women rights and achievements. Expecially those who have received help from the Clintons in the past to advance their own political career. They owe Mrs. Hillary Clinton the respect not to offer support to any candidate during the primary. You just have to listen to Claire's daughter's criticism of her mother's action. It was immoral for her to abandon the Clintons.

To each his own – every voter has a right to vote for the candidate they deem will be the best for this country whether they be male or female, white or black and rich or poor.

Some educated voters will go to the polls and vote for the candidate that they know has a good tract record and who can lead this country back on the road to prosperity.

Some not-so-educated voters who does not follow the issues or listen to the debates and have no clue where a candidate stands on a particular issue will vote "just because..."

Some voters that believed in Bill Clinton when he was in the White House will vote for his wife.

Some voters will play the gender and race cards and will vote for the candidates that falls into either one of those categories.

All in all, the most that voters can say is "May the best candidate win." Some voters will be disappointed at the outcome of the National Election. Some of the voters will be over-joyed because the candidate they voted for wins the election.

The NOW group in New York is one-sided and cannot stomach the fact that a black male was endorsed by Senator Kennedy. Some voters were never a stanuch supporter of Kennedy, but applauded him for standing up and endorsing a candidate that he believes in. It is nice to see that some voters are not easily swayed by the NOW group in New York and other organizations across the country that tries to influence the voter's minds.

Condoleezza Rice would have been my choice for the first woman Presidnet had she been on the running ticket. She is a black woman,who is very smart and well educated. she has a BA degree in Political Science, a Master Degree at Notredame and a Phd. in a graduate school of International Study. She is the first woman, and the first African-American woman to become the first Stanford provost. Condoleezza has met with all the foreign leaders and has a security clearance. She is a lot smarter and knowledgeable than Hillary can ever hope to be. But, sadly, Condoleeza did not want to run and what a loss for the Americans not to have her on the ballot. There will be another time to look for a woman that hold pretty much the same credentials as Condoleezza. But, that woman certainly is not Hillary.

I will be at the polls (senior citizen- watch out Jon) and I will vote, but I am undecided at this point.

Oh and about that "don't stand by your man" crap. Do you really think you're entitled to judge? Why do you presume Hillary was devastated? Don't you know what she DID to smear and threaten all the other women Bill bagged so it wouldn't hurt his electability? We have no idea what their "social contract" is or was. Maybe they had an open relationship. Maybe she's a lesbian. Maybe she just doesn't give a hoot. Maybe theirs is a marriage of political convenience only. Maybe all of the above. It's none of our business.

If you can't tell by the comments, it's really turning us off the candidates and the MSM in general. I'll die before voting for Billary. For what it's worth, though, Obama is really no prize either. His voting patterns (both literally and figuratively) follow Hillary's. He's the latest CFR goldenboy, so he will cave to their interests. He's an "Israel-Firster." He will not pull our troops out of the Middle East. He will go to war with Iran because the Neocons tell him to. So he's eloquent and inspiring. BFD. I'm not interested in being "inspired" into perdition. This is another Bush Lite in a radically different body "package." Try to see past it. Look at his voting record. Or lack thereof. Only ONE candidate will bring the troops home and he's a Republican. Guess who.

As a Hispanic/Latino, I know his endorsement does not mean what the experts say it does with at least Hispanics/Latinos during this election. As I a Hispanic/Latino have been reporting about first hand knowledge of Barack Obama on blogs all over the internet longer than he has even been running. It can be verified that good old Senator Ted Kennedy was placed on written notice of my particular situation that involves(for instance but not limited to) IL. U.S. Senator /Presidential Candidate Barack Obama , IL. U.S. Senator Dick Durbin/ co-chair Obama 2008 being complicit in allowing the Illinois Department of Human Rights and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to treat me an American U.S. Hispanic citizen who reported incidents of race discrimination in the state of Illinois in an unequal, biased, & discriminatory manner and then covering up their conduct. Despite there being ample time for each of you to respond, redress, and stop the above mentioned serious form of discrimination nothing ,to date, has been done in a timely manner to fairly & fully address, redress,and stop this still ongoing serious form of discrimination which is continuing to allow Hormel Foods Corporation, UFCW, and Target Corporation to not be held accountable for race discrimination against me. Inaction ,complicity, & deliberate silence on the part of (for instance but not limited to) Obama and Durbin are responsible for my civil rights continuing to be violated as it relates to this serious form of discrimination in the state of Illinois and for nothing being done to fully & fairly redress and stop this still ongoing form of discrimination. As a result Ted Kennedy is also responsible for not stopping this serious form of discrimination, for no ethics charges being brought against Obama and Durbin as it relates to their involvement in this serious matter ,and for no federal investigations of Obama and Durbin being conducted as it relates to their involvement in this serious matter, for U.S. Senator Ted Kennedy who was placed on prior notice of my particular situation without consequence condoning this without dispute form of racism against Hispanics/Latinos by endorsing Obama is disgusting given his background as a civil rights advocate. This act is now his Legacy!

When Hillary is ready to be president on her own record and not on Bills' record, then I a woman, might consider voting for her, not a minute sooner.

[I'm posting this again because it didn't seem to work the first time.] This is ridiculous. Barack Obama has an excellent record on reproductive rights and other "womens' issues." In fact the former president of Chicago NOW, Lorna Brett Howard, recently switched her support from Clinton to Obama after the Clinton campaign put out false information about Obama's record on reproductive rights to NH voters before the NH primary. (Search for "Lorna" on YouTube) So the sole reason given by the MA state chapter of NOW for choosing Clinton over Obama is the fact that she's a woman. Talk about a step backwards for the country and women everywhere. This is one woman who will be proudly voting for Obama on Super Tuesday!

I HAVE SEEN SOME OF THE CNN REPORTERS TRASHING THE CLINTONS AND PRAISING OBAMA, AND SAYING HE IS BEING ATTACKED, BUT THEY DON'T SAY WHAT THE ATTACK IS. MR OBAMA IS SLY WITH HIS ATTACKS...THEN HE STANDS BACK AND LETS THE MEDIA DO THE DIRTY WORK FOR HIM. THE DEBATE IN SOUTH CAROLINA WAS EVEN UNFAIR. THE CNN PEOPLE OPENED WITH A LOADED QUESTION THEY KNEW WOULD STIR UP TENSION, THEN THEY ASKED ABOUT THE STATEMENT MADE ABOUT BILL CLINTON BEING THE FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT....WHAT DID EITHER OF THOSE HAVE TO DO WITH REAL ISSUES?! WHY WOULD CNN DELIBERTELY STIR UP POLITICAL AND RACIAL TENSION. I ONCE THOUGHT I WOULD VOTE FOR OBAMA, BUT THE MORE I SEE OF HIM, THE LESS THERE IS TO LIKE....ONCE I THOUGHT CNN WAS GREAT, BUT THE MORE I SEE OF IT...THE LESS THERE IS TO LIKE. I AM NOT ALONE...MOST OF AMERICAN FEELS THE SAME.

Bob, the NY NOW Chapter does not speak for NOW, or most women, they certainly don't speak for me and in reading the comments on this blog they don't speak for most women. The National NOW President indicated they respect Sen. Kennedy's endorsement. If NOW would turn their back on the Democratic Nominee it would only be to their own demise, because no Republican is supporting Roe vs. Wade, remember Romney and Giuliani have changed their position and there is a very good chance Supreme Court Justices will be needed as I expect some are just waiting for a Democratic President before they retire.

I suspect the only reason Kennedy turned his back on Hillary is because he wants to show Bill who the boss is! Bill must have told him where to go after Kennedy tried to strong arm him into shutting up during the slugfest right before the SC caucus. I can just hear Bill tell him he was not going to back down because the slugfest went both ways It was not a one sided fight like the media made it out to be. Obama gave more than his share of bob, weave and sucker punch too. Funny how Kennedy was neutral up to this point.

It feels like sour grapes from Ted Kennedy,this may be the closest he will ever get to being president and we all know nothing is free. what is the problem with CNN an their claim of being "fair and balanced." This does not seem to apply to Hilary Clinton. When was the last time CNN presented her in a positive light. You certainly seemed to get excited when Obama was ahead by a few votes anywhere. As for Bill being supportive,why shouldn't he? With minimal reseach I realized Obama's family ties on his mothers' side are never discussed. Why is he not proud of those roots as well? His father basically abandoned him as a child and he was raised seemingly by his mother and devoted maternal grandparents. His father received a scholarship to go to Harvard and after getting a degree,the father returned to Kenya where he later died in an automobile accident. Obama's mother died in 1992 years after her second marriage to an Indonesian gentleman. That marriage produced a half-sister to Obama,why have we heard nothing about her? The grandparents lived in Hawaii apparently where they died,but were from Kansas. Are there no relatives living other than his sister? Where is his pride in his white relatives? After graduating high school,he apparently went on to a college prior to being acceptrd at Harvard. Was his education paid for by his white grandparents;there is no data in reference to employment after leaving Harvard. Another question arises in regard to his voting record,or should I say the lack of;just being "present " does not seem like he was earning his money. Playing it safe doesn't usually pay off either unless one has larger political ideas than just being a junior senator. Always seeing both sides of the coin is a standard psychology trick if you will. True,Mr Obama is a great orator,one is drawn to listen to what he says but then so was the effect of the pied piper on the town's herd of rats. No pun intended,since humans repotedly are able to listen in between the tune for the sour notes,but not everyone hears the same music or at least not clearly. The informed voter is needed more than ever at this time,one who has truly researched the records of each candidate before voting. To the uninformed this entire comment might seem like its tinged with racist thought,so let me add that I am the mother of mixed-race children and I belive they are proud of both the black and white ancestry. I have a daughter the same age as Mr Obama. However,racism has been present since the beginning of this run for president,although subtle most of the time. Do you think when Mr Obama made statements of,"They sais it couldn't be done." that he was referring to a junior senator "besting" several seasoned senator and politician? Wake up. I am a democrat but will not vote for Obama even if that means Ivote republican.

Barack Obama needs to learn more about change, himself......we are in a mess if someone gets in office that has only been Senator for just 2 years and where was he before, I am sorry we are in trouble we need someone that needs to know something about what he or her is doing.

Thank you! Irene Beaulieu from Florida!
