Hillary: Undecided on Platform Apology for Slavery?

Clinton camp silent on repudiating party platforms attacking blacks, Asians.

(Page 3 of 3)

* Will Hillary Clinton lead the Democrats to an on-the-record platform apology for its repeated and very much on-the-record insistence on injecting race into American politics?

* Does she feel her party has anything to apologize for in this respect?

* Does she see no need to have it apologize?

This opportunity, along the lines of making lemonade when you've been handed a lemon, seems the perfect opportunity for Hillary Clinton to showcase her ability to lead on "Day One" of a new day for the Democrats -- and America -- when it comes to race.

Yet her campaign's answer, so far, is silence. No wonder Ted Kennedy supports Obama.
