Hillary bounce in the polls because of S.C./Today's endorsements?

I was going to predict this but I am entirely unsure so I'll just ask. What does the DU community think about something that just popped through my head: Whenever the Clintons are threatened or attacked as they were in the S.C. vote and by the endorsements of the Kennedy family today, their supporters are always rallied. Impeachment, post Iowa, pre New Hampshire, the interval between the 1994 GOP landslide and Clinton's 1996 landslide. Could Hillary's supprters look at the news of the past few days, especially White women, and say "Hillary's in trouble again. We better rally to her?". Could we in fact see her get a sympathy bounce of say 3-5 points as people hate her being piled up upon, as it may look to some?

Or do you think that the Kennedy endorsement will make people say "hey, this guy really is the next JFK" and combined with his S.C. win, Obama gets a 3-5 point bounce.

I'm just trying to look objectively at this and I'd love to hear what people think the political impact of this may be. I'm not talking about what's right and wrong but just the politics of it.
