Has Hillary Hit a New Low?
May 23, 2008
This, fresh off the press, Hillary made the following comment to a South Dakota newspaper today:
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.
Surely, the Senator from New York cannot be saying what I think she is saying. It is unfathomable that she would raise the specter of assassination as a justification to stay in the race. If she means what her words cryptically imply, then she most certainly cannot seriously be considered for the Vice President position on the ticket. As Vice President, she would simply be waiting for a very different kind of 3am phone call to fulfill her political ambitions.
While I have not been a fan of Senator Clinton, this latest slip of the lip greatly disappoints and shocks me. As manipulative and cunning as I felt she was, I never believed her capable of this.
It’s time for the super delegates to bring this race to an end and for Hillary to return to the Senate and attempt to repair what little will be left of her reputation.
Respectfully,
Rutherford

Her statement implies that there are always unexpected and even unimaginable events, nothing more. Assassins don’t telegraph their intentions on TV.
If her thinking mirrored yours, she was wondering why the VRWC didn’t assassinate her husband after the California primary.
What has confused me in all this Democrat party arguing over the super-delegates is the rejection of the raison d’etre of the super-delegates.
These representatives of the political wisdom of the Democrat party were created to override the gleeful insensibilities of the quick, early, and clustered primaries. Over turning the primaries is what they are for>/b>!
Obama’s campaign’s argument regarding the super-delegates is: “You’re not pretty if you’re real. Make nice and make pretty.” How vacuous is that?

Point is, Hillary has offered nothing good to the campaign since her downward spiral. It’s her lost, you win some, you lose some. Be a good sport and exit the stage. Don’t be a sore loser. In doing so, Hillary has only blew her chance to be in the senate or any other governing body therein, with such misfit actions. She needs to chill, go sit in a river of ice chips, do something.
