Everyones abuzz over Hillary Clinton saying she is staying in the race just in case Barack Obama gets assassinated. Or, something like that:
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 dont understand it, she said, dismissing calls to drop out.
A very angry John Aravosis has the blow-by-blow of the story breaking and the various reactions and counter-reactions as they played out on television.
Marc Ambinder notes that the part about Bill Clinton isnt even true that he essentially had it wrapped up in March (1992) and that Gary Hart and numerous other frontrunners who fell apart late without getting murdered would have been better examples.

She's sabotaging her own campaign.
I want her to keep the chaos going.
Obama will highlight the idea that he, the black Camelot could be killed - stirring emotions even more. It's a back door approach for him to use to get special protection because of his RACE. He'll use it too. He's a low guy.

A veiled threat - for lack of a better word - coming from a Clinton makes people tend to fear Arkancide, if only because of all the “mysterious death” rumors circulating about the Clintons.

If Obama’s jet crashes at this point the sympathy vote won’t go for Hillary, quite the opposite. Loserman Al Gore and everybody else would jump back in.

She knew what she was saying. She was trying to bolster the troops with the likelihood that some racist bastard redneck republican would assassinate him....(and if there weren’t such a creature, the Clinton machine could create one - they have had plenty of practice.)

Obama might wind up taking his own life. Let’s think outside the box, Hillary!

Oh, good grief, it was that fricken' ignorant witch clinton that brought up assassination being a possibility for Obama.
There's plenty to blame Obama for, without twisting ANY and EVERYTHING and BLAMING him for it...get a grip, it just makes Conservatives look like stupid bigots!

To: Gorzaloon
Never meant to imply there was such a thing....only that she/he could manufacture one, that’s all.

If Obama, heaven forbid (and I mean that no matter how awful he is) were assassinated, the Dems would more likely go to Al Gore or someone else besides Clinton.

I suppose it does take a rather healthy dose of puerility to comprehend your brilliant ponderings.

Of course she knew what she meant with her assassination remark. And more importantly... the veiled threat it conveyed to Obama. She's letting it be known that all those crazy stories/accusations about her and her rapist partner... ARE TRUE.
