Hilldawg to Obama: 'Plz die, kthx lol'

[Xisiqomelir]

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.

Watch a video of the editorial board meeting here.

Clinton made her comments at a meeting with the Sioux Falls Argus-Leader's editorial board while campaigning in South Dakota, where she complained that, "People have been trying to push me out of this ever since Iowa."

Obama, the first African-American to advance so far in the race for the White House, has faced threats, sources have said.

Robert Kennedy, the younger brother of President John F. Kennedy, was gunned down in 1968 after winning the California primary. He had been a hero on the left for his civil rights agenda and calls to end the war in Vietnam.

Barack Obama, who leads Clinton by nearly 200 delegates and has already secured a majority of pledged delegates, has been the subject of threats. Early in the campaign, the Secret Service gave him a security detail at the request of Sen. Richard Durbin (D-Illinois).

Clinton criticized an "urgency" to end the campaign prematurely, saying, "Historically, that makes no sense."

I think that's about the end of that.

One reason for not pulling out is SHE HASN'T LOST YET! There 2 states yet to be counted!
Democrats don't even want to have proper elections

She probably tried to say that things can happen late in the nomination race turning the tables, also referencing her husband who also got his nomination late in 1992.

Her only chance of winning the nomination is if Obama gets a foot-in-mouth situation, or if some ugly skeletons falls out of the closet, making the pledged superdelegates switch allegiance. It does not help her that she has her own embarrassing moment here..

She should now be thinking out her exit strategies...
