For a few weeks now her campaign has been saying she is staying in partly because "ANYTHING" can happen. To me, ANYTHING means ANYTHING including catastrophic events. She is a VERY smart person. She could have easily said, "Look, there are many examples of late primaries in our history" and left it at that. Why did she utter the word "assassinated" referencing RFK? Sure, in part her point was about late primaries. HOWEVER, it is obvious to my 3 year old that somewhere in her mind was also the idea that late catastrophes can happen which can change things. The PROBLEM people are having is her using this notion to justify, in part, remaining in a race she KNOWS she has no other chance to win. MOST DO NOT THINK HILLARY WANTS OBAMA TO DIE. In the big picture, I respect the service of the Clintons which is why I voted for Bill twice. But ad this to her kitchen sink strategy and all the rest of the baggage thus far, and it just doesn't sit well at all with MANY of us and MANY Americans in general. This was a verbal huge blunder, and she needs to hold a press conference to better explain and then apologize very broadly and sincerely for it. Then things will cool down and she can finish out the campaign on a humble, positive note. And then, she and her team and supporters can and damn well should get behind the Dem ticket, which most likely won't include her, so that we don't allow McBUSH to keep filling body bags in Iraq and screwing us on the economy at home.
