As the race for the democratic seat intensifies, there appeared to be a bad omen or a sign that New York Sen. Hillary Clinton might just fall short of her goal. On Friday morning in Dallas, Texas, 49-year-old Senior Cpl. Victor Lozada-Tirado was thrown from his motorcycle when it clipped a curb on a viaduct. This happened in Clinton's motorcade on a way to a nearby rally. The accident was not far from where President Kennedy was assassinated in 1963. Is this a sign of bad luck? Maybe. Unlike President Kennedy's Death, this one was accidental and unplanned. Kind of like the pregnancy of Britney Spears 16 year old younger sister. Ba-dong-Ch!
As a result, Clinton canceled her appearance in nearby Fort Worth, addressing nearly 2,000 people gathered outside the Tarrant County courthouse of the unfortunate event. "It is important that we respect and appreciate their service," Clinton said at her rally. "I certainly am grateful for all they do for me." She said that it would be inappropriate to campaign in the wake of this tragedy. Was this is a good move? Yes. It showed the nation that she had a heart and was trying to respect the people who serve our country. So instead she paid her respects to Lozada-Tirado's family at the hospital. In the wake of this tragedy, does it help her candidacy for the democratic presidential seat? Yes. Unlike current President Bush (Hurricane Katrina and 9/11), she proved that in the wake of chaos that she can step up to the plate on a topic that's caught national news media attention and handle the situation appropriately in a respective manner. Although Obama has been winning the states and most of the popular vote, this showed the voters a different side of Clinton that may turn some heads and some votes.
