Hillary cites RFK assassination in explaining why she's still in race
Hillary Clinton today cited the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy during the 1968 presidential campaign to explain why she was remaining in the race despite long odds.

"We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California," Clinton [LINK POSTED BY MEMBER] Only Members Can View This No Hillary For President Forum Link. the editorial board of a South Dakota newspaper. " I don't understand it," Clinton added, alluding to the calls for her to quit.

Clinton made the statement after pointing out that her husband didn't lock up the nomination until June of 1992, trying to point out that, by past history, it's not late in the campaign.

But Barack Obama received Secret Service protection one year ago this month, the earliest ever in presidential history, after reports of threats.

Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton said in a statement that “Senator Clinton's statement before the Argus Leader editorial board was unfortunate and has no place in this campaign."

Clinton's made the comment to the Argus Leader newspaper in Sioux Falls, S.D.

I'm sorry, but I'm not making the connection. If Bill Clinton and Robert Kennedy were the last two candidates still campaigning for the nomination in June then how has she done anything wrong by pointing that out? Are we to assume that Hillary was alluding to the fact that Barack Obama could still be assasssinated? It is a possibility, isn't it???

When the likes of John Murtha and the MSM comment that John McCain is too old to run for the presidency, aren't they actually saying he could have a heart attack and die? Funny that he was releasing his medical records to a panting, salivating press corp. on the same day as Hillary's statement.

If you think about it, Hillary merely pointed out that RFK was assassinated in June which means he was still running for the nomination. Herb, on the other hand, spelled it out by pointing out that Obama received Secret Service protection earlier than any other candidate. Is Herb losing his mind? Bad Herb!!!
