I think we're about to find out. Look, this is politics, and, as Hillary famously informed us a few months back, it's a blood sport. But when a candidate unabashedly hopes for a literal blood letting, she's going too far, in my never-humble opinion.
So as not to be accused of misquoting and somehow drastically altering the context, I shall paste her exact comments here:
"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."
It sounds to me as if she's saying, "I should stay in the race because someone might kill the other guy." Wow. We've all been wondering the past couple months what kind of end-game Senator Clinton had in mind, what path to the nomination she could possibly feel is still open to her, and I think she just told us.
Sort of makes her campaign's comments about Obama not appearing in West Virginia and Kentucky take on a whole new meaning, eh?
(As a side note, aren't we all just a little sick of hearing her tired "My husband didn't win until June" lines? It's true but misleading, which is typical of her campaign. The primary season was much later in 1992, with the bulk of delegates awarded in June. Also, though he didn't officially wrap up the nomination until June, it was effectively over months earlier, when Tsongas dropped out.)
