I saw that video clip of Hillary, too. That is why I personally am tending to think it was an actual gaffe, a slip-up, but therein lies the essence of it's simple beauty:
it showed Hillary's true (dark) and perhaps dangerous psyche. This is the stuff dictators and would be dictators are made of.
Watch close! She actually is rationalizing reasons for her to stay in the hopeless race, clawing for power, including a twisted, subliminal hope that Obama is actually harmed in some way, clearing the way for her to the White House. She has constructed increasingly more insane and unbalanced rationalizations within her cranium to keep seeking the inevitable, like the wino patrolling hopelessly for old bottles with some zinfandel left in them, long after the supermarket dumpster has been cleaned up. It is pathetic, actually. This person needs hospitalization and help.
It comes out in the way she said it in that video, and in the mental "oh, crap, did I just say that!?" two second pause with the eyes dancing, mouth frozen, EXACTLY AS YOU SAW THE VIDEO, TOO, REBELBASE.
She said the same thing on March 6 to
Time.
TIME: Can you envision a point at which--if the race stays this close--Democratic Party elders would step in and say, "This is now hurting the party and whoever will be the nominee in the fall"?
CLINTON: No, I really can't. I think people have short memories. Primary contests used to last a lot longer. We all remember the great tragedy of Bobby Kennedy being assassinated in June in L.A. My husband didn't wrap up the nomination in 1992 until June. Having a primary contest go through June is nothing particularly unusual.
