The Kennedy Family Quiets Bill Clinton
After Bill Clinton's outrageous behavior during the South Carolina Primary, the Kennedy family, basically, beat up the bully, and sent him home to hide behind Hillary Clinton.
All of a sudden Bill is just praising his wife in a New Jersey speech today, Feb. 29th, and not swiftboating Barack Obama.
Sen. Ted Kennedy tried to warn Bill, that he was way off base and to stop attacking Senator Obama.
Bill didn't stop, and a couple of days later, three members of the Kennedy crew endorsed Barack Obama.
The Clinton organization is obviously re-calculating the campaign: She was supposed to appear on CNN last night, after the State of the Union speech, and didn't show up, at the last minute.
They are assuming she will win big in Florida today, even though Barack Obama did not campaign there, and no delegates are at stake for Democrats in this primary.
Mrs. Clinton has been in the public eye for about 20 years, and Barack Obama for about a year....so she will take credit for a bogus win in the sunshine state...hopefully giving her a little extra momentum going into super-duper Tuesday.
This is why Bill Clinton is being a good boy now.
It's going to be hard for Senator Obama to beat Mrs. Clinton in California, because he doesn't have time, in a week, to speak before the big crowds which would show up for him.(This is the inherent weakness in a massive early primary by big states)
The latest poll still has the former First Lady in a double-digit lead in California.
Senator Obama, has a week to make some news momentum, with specific proposals, to shore up voters in the big primary states.
If he can pull close in California, New Jersey and New York, while winning Illinois, and the southern states, he still could pull out the nomination.

Let's hope Obama can pull off the nomination!! Loved that the Kennedys came out and endorsed him. And the Kennedys will be actively campaigning for Obama in CA etc. So lets hope that helps. Let's hope for alot of new youth voters and Independents in CA.
The way the Clintons are trying to get Florida as a win just shows what kind of people they are.
If Bill got back in the White House, I cannot imagine him being a good boy.
