The Danger of Having 'Civilians' Speak at Campaign Events

A former Edwards supporter, Francine Torge, introducing Hillary Clinton yesterday in Dover, NH:

"Some people compare one of the other candidates to John F. Kennedy. But he was assassinated."

The expected Clinton campaign disavowal came from Phil Singer, a spokesman:

"We were not aware that this person was going to make those comments and disapprove of them completely. They were totally inappropriate."

Whoops.

More than a few of us here in the Red States worry about the safety of Clinton and Obama. Like it or not, the hatred of the right for these two candidates makes them a target if they are elected.
If Loofah Boy can get that close to Obama, what about all the other nutcases out there who think they are God's Messengers?
