Did Hillary inadvertently sign her own political death warrant with her

It's difficult to say, given the nature of politics (and politicians). It seems that any gaffe, no matter how bad, can be forgiven, overlooked, or ignored if it's in the interest of the party to do so.

However, Hillary may have just stepped over the line by referring to the death of an iconic figure--and then had the added bad luck of the news of the only surviving Kennedy brother's apparently fatal brain tumor to become public.

John Gotti might have been "The Teflon Don," but I'm not certain that Hillary has the same coating--and her remark just might have been the death knell to her aspirations, at least for 2008.
 
Yes, I belive she did even if it was blown out of proportion. She basically committed suicide by attacking one of the most powerful American families. I'm sure they still know a few good people who could cause her campaign to start going backwards. And if she didn't mean it like that then she should of never said it in the first place. And no, that is no way to win an election especially if you drag it out till the last fight. I personally believe she should go on 'holiday' for awhile and just let McCain and Obama battle it out.
 
Hillary was merely trying to make the point the election dynamics can turn around completely as late as June. The US media is exaggerating the importance of the story as a favor to Obama.
