"Having a primary contest go through June is nothing particularly unusual," said Hillary, March 2008

Here is what Bill and Hillary had to say about the Primary Season when it suited them.


Hillary Clinton, March 6, 2008: I think people have short memories. Primary contests used to last a lot longer. We all remember the great tragedy of Bobby Kennedy being assassinated in June in L.A. My husband didn’t wrap up the nomination in 1992 until June, also in California. Having a primary contest go through June is nothing particularly unusual.

Bill Clinton, March 28, 2008: I didn’t get enough votes to be nominated until June the 2nd, 1992.


Very disappointed is Kos for perpetuating the meme that come March 15 it is over and on to the General Election. Guess Marcos is one of those people who "have short memories."

Google "Hillary 2008 Primary Quotes." Plenty there.

NOTE to Hillary supporters. Quoting Hillary is not Hillary bashing, sorry.

JUST SO LONG AS he gets hammered by the media on a nightly basis to drop out and is accused of lying to himself and his voters like she went through 8 years ago. She was savaged nightly about dragging out the process once the math stopped favoring her. I should know, I was one of them. The math was the math then; it is the same now. Bernie hasn't received 1/10th of what she got 8 years ago. When left wing pundits start calling Bernie a liar nightly on national tv, then he'll be in the same camp she was in. Until then he's STILL being handled with kid gloves.

Politics is a genteel endeavor, who would be so crass as to throw that quote in anyone's face?
