Hillary Brings Up Assassination In her Defense of Staying In The Race

HILLARY RAISES ASSASSINATION ISSUE DEFENDS LONG-RUNNING CAMPAIGN

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.

Nice move Hill! ;0)

Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton said in a statement that “Senator Clinton’s statement before the Argus Leader editorial board was unfortunate and has no place in this campaign.”

Update: Just to be clear there is absolutely no reason to think this was anything other than Hillary making the case that others have stayed in the race well into June!
