Navy Denies Chelsea Clinton To Vieques, Puerto Rico


SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — The U.S. Navy has denied Chelsea Clinton permission to campaign for her mother on a former bombing range on a small Puerto Rican island.

Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign wanted to use the land Wednesday as a setting to discuss the candidate's clean up plan for the region and call to give some areas to local residents.

But Navy spokeswoman Lt. Lara Bollinger said no one is allowed to campaign on federal property.

Chelsea Clinton is making her second campaign visit to Puerto Rico in the last three weeks. The U.S. territory has 55 delegates at stake in its June 1 Democratic primary.

The Navy closed the range in Vieques in April 2003 following years of protests after two errant bombs killed a security guard.

but, but, but...
she just wanted to swim in the phosphorescent water!

HOW IN THE WORLD could anyone support someone with this much disregard for the fundamental campaigning laws of this nation!!!

I am disgusted that someone who thinks they should be president would even have been so stupid as to ask!

While, the Clinton campaign should have been aware of that rule, I find it to be kind of odd. Every time a President, or Congressman does a speaking engagement on a military base, they are in essence campaigning. Of course they will never say "Vote for me" in their speech, but these men and women don't do those engagements for their health.

Yes---and I suppose we could extend that to everytime they shake a hand going into the theater or speak to another person while they are standing in line at a grocery store.

I PERSONALLY think that a line needs to be drawn somewhere. A standard has to be set. BUT----I would be very interested to understand just how far others would think it appropriate to extend it---you would accept a politician's kid?----what about their inlaws? How about close family friends? What about their hairdressers?

Oh......and by the way...........what happened to the READY ON DAY ONE.....35 years of experience........I know how to make the system work thingy? Guess she didn't understand the rules after 35 years-----then when could we expect her to finally "get" it?
