She's gone too far this time - now she says she's staying in the contest JUST IN CASE OBAMA is assassinated

Hillary Clinton is behind Obama in number of states won, number of delegates, number of super delegates. While she stays in the race that she cannot win, the RNC is busy outraising the DNC by 10-1, McCain is getting a free pass in the media, and we are 5 months from the GE. Hillary tried to compare the Florida and Michigan primary messups as being = to the 2000 election and Zimbabwe's election.

SEND AN EMAIL TO THESE FOLKS:

Tell DNC Chairman Gov. Howard Dean what you think here (form)

On MSNBC, Chuck Todd just said “that she realizes that she screwed up and this might be the last straw
and it’s over for her- that she went too far with these remarks.”


Please write to him ASAP and tell him you feel that way too.
Below are email addresses at MSNBC to contact

HILLARY RAISES ASSASSINATION ISSUE
DEFENDS LONG-RUNNING CAMPAIGN

By GEOFF EARLE New York Post May 23, 2008

Hillary Clinton today brought up the assassination of Sen. Robert Kennedy while defending her decision to stay in the race against Barack Obama.

"My husband did not wrap up the nomination in 1992 until he won the California primary somewhere in the middle of June, right? We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California. I don't understand it," she said, dismissing calls to drop out.

Watch a video of the editorial board meeting here.

Obama's camp immediately fired back.

"Sen. Clinton's statement before the Argus Leader editorial board was unfortunate and has no place in this campaign," Obama campaign spokesman said in a statement.

Clinton made her comments at a meeting with the Sioux Falls Argus-Leader's editorial board while campaigning in South Dakota, where she complained that, "People have been trying to push me out of this ever since Iowa."

....Robert Kennedy, the younger brother of President John F. Kennedy, was gunned down in 1968 after winning the California primary. He had been a hero on the left for his civil rights agenda and calls to end the war in Vietnam.

Barack Obama, who leads Clinton by nearly 200 delegates and has already secured a majority of pledged delegates, has been the subject of threats. Early in the campaign, the Secret Service gave him a security detail at the request of Sen. Richard Durbin (D-Illinois).

THIS IS HILLARY'S IDEA OF AN APOLOGY, NOTICE SHE DOES NOT APOLOGIZE TO OBAMA, HIS FAMILY OR HIS SUPPORTERS:

"I regret that if my referencing that moment of trauma for our entire nation
and in particular the Kennedy family was in any way offensive. I certainly had no intention of that whatsoever,"
the former first lady said.
