Clinton wrongly cites Bobby Kennedy assassination in defending herself
Today while defending her decision to stay in the presidential race Senator Clinton said,
“We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California.”
Nothing like a good ol’ Freudian slip!
The Clinton campaign immediately responded to the remark saying, “She was simply referencing her husband in 1992 and Bobby Kennedy in 1968 as historical examples of the nominating process going well into the summer.”
This point of reference is simply not valid.
In 1968 the nominating season was far different than today’s. On June 5, the day of Bobby Kennedy’s assassination, there were primaries held in 13 states. It was their equivalent of our ‘Super Tuesday.’
Of course the candidates stayed in the race well into the summer, they had 13 primaries that day!!! By June 3rd of this year every state will have already voted.
Time has nothing to do with this debate; it’s all about numbers. We want Hillary to drop out because it is mathematically impossible for her to win, not because it’s almost June!
Not only was this an extremely insensitive thing to say, but also it is like comparing apples to oranges.
Mrs. Clinton is getting increasingly desperate and she is starting to hurt her public image. Obama is 56 delegates away from clinching the nomination. Clinton’s arguments over the votes in Michigan and Florida not counting are ridiculous and her logic about the subject hurts my brain.
Hillary…..I think it’s time.

Hillary is not at fault….merely comparing length of campaigns….opinions are like noses…everyone has one…..however…news media people are paid to REPORT the news and not give personal and slanted opinions….especially since most are greedy and dishonest with their opinions….most news media “people” are overpaid and mentally undernourished…just report the news and then….SHUT UP!

Wow Edward, apparently you don’t know what a blog is, blogs give OPINION. They are not news. Secondly Miller has pointed out that she was comparing two seasons that are not like each other. Maybe you should read it again.

It’s the best chance we have of getting Feminists to finally SHUT UP AND SIT DOWN!

I think Obama should be elected because he will cure global warming. Here’s how::
1) Elect Obama
2) With Obama and Old Peanutheads blessing, the Palestinians nuke Israel with Iranian made missles.
3)Nuclear Winter ensues, thus solving Global Warming…
