Image Fault

I was reading about Ted Kennedy's endorsement of Obama, much to the annoyance of the Clinton campaign, and was wondering if this was a turning point in the nomination. Teddy's a big voice for the Old Democrats, which have been a huge support to the Clintons, so this endorsement may move part of her base.



I was thinking about other singular campaign turning point, the most obvious being Dukakis in a tank.



In theory this should be fine, a presidential candidate appearing to support the military. The reality however, was that this image sunk his whole run for the presidency. I wonder if this is that moment for Hillary.

BTW, I'm in a lecture hall in Kuala Lumpur, listening to a partner talk about "critical impacts to business". I searched for the above image and while it was prominently displayed on my screen, the guy next to me leaned over and whispered,

"Stop looking at pornography!"
