WASHINGTON -- Democrat Hillary Clinton was endorsed for president Thursday by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an environmental activist and scion of one of the nation's most prominent political families.


"Hillary Clinton has the strength and experience to bring the war in Iraq to an end and reverse the potentially devastating effects of global warming," Kennedy said in a statement released by Clinton's campaign.

"I watched proudly as Hillary won over New Yorkers across the state in her race for the Senate seat my father once held," he said. "Since then, she's been re-elected in a landslide victory and proven that she is ready to lead this nation from her first day in office. Hillary will inspire the real change America needs."

Kennedy's father, Robert F. Kennedy, was a New York senator and candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination when he was assassinated in 1968.

1. There are some interesting parallels in RFK's and her resumes. nt

2. Who's Stephen Baldwin endorsing?

3. I'm thinking if she wins he may think he might be chosen as her replacement.

4. My guess is that he wants her senate seat...

I love RFK Jr, and he would make a GREAT US senator from my state.:thumbsup:

8. Amen to that

But not at the expense of a Clinton presidency thank you kindly. I think RFK Jr. could challenge her in the Senate primes.

[Jane Austin]

5. He lives in her state

and I am pretty sure any political future for him requires him to sing to her tune.

That endorsement wasn't really a ringing one.

Bobby, Jr. is one of the more anti-corporatists out there, and I can't see him really doing a lot for her.

Teddy Kennedy might endorse her for the same reason - to help smooth the way for his brother, Bobby's, kid.

6. That's really kind of surprising,

Given how he was going off about corporate controlled candidates and government when I heard him speak a couple of months ago. And here he goes and lines up with the most corporate controlled candidate in the Democratic field. Hmm, do as I say, not as I do eh Robert?

10. IIRC, the Clinton and Kennedy families have been quite friendly for some time.

No surprise to me.

I'm hoping he just wants her senate seat. President Kennedy would sound really nice someday.

7. Nooooooooo!

Just no.

9. Edwards was endorsed by "Friends of the Earth." nt

11. No one's perfect.

We all make mistakes.

12. You can say that again! n/t
