"Here it is: Can you imagine sitting at your dinner table discussing reasons a candidate should stay in a race and including RFK's assassination in your list? Of course you can because it's logical."
NO! I cannot. Not at all. Just, no. This is me being speechless.
So let's hear you making the argument that there is no reason for one candidate to exit the race because historically there have been other races that continued.
What will you do when RFK pops into your brain? Pretend it's too controversial to note? Censor your words because it's just too painful to mention 40 years later?
Bullshit.
Obama will triumph. Out with the old, in with the New.
I doubt it. Right now he has a shrinking base of 25% of the electorate.
In spite of a year of the cult followers yelling at us and the media telling us it must be so, the other 75% of voters just can't come up with a reason he should "triumph."
There really is almost nothing his detractors can use to indict him. He really is that good, that the only complaints Joan and others have about him is that they don't like his supporters. It feels like a reach, like partisans who want to hate someone for irrational reasons and can't find evidence for their nonsupport.
"Nonsupport." Because the supporting Barack Dukakis is the default position, right?
LOL
Do you Obamapaths have a clue how you sound sometimes?
In other words, the problem is not that she wished for Obama's death (because she didn't). The problem is that she will say and do anything to win without the slightest awareness of how it actually comes across when you will say or do anything to win.
No, the problem is you want people to pretend that making an academic argument including a 40 year old historical reference is outrageous when in fact it isn't.
Since it isn't, no one need have the "slightest awareness" of how it might be taken by either stupid people or people who want to pretend it's outrageous.
At the time of posting
Obama > by 4.7%
HRC > McCain by 1.5%
Within the democratic party, Obama > HRC by 11.2 %
LOLcait, I'd love to hear you give a lecture on fictional mathematics one day. Fascinating, I'm sure.
National polls don't matter. I would rather lecture you on the system we have in America called the "electoral college." Current polling shows Obama getting thrashed vs McCain and HRC winning.

Any election that precluded campaigning (FL) or only had one candidate on the ballot (MI) is frigging INVALID
You'd like that to be true, wouldn't you?
Barack Dukakis ran ads in Florida and HRC didn't. Voters voted and they should count.
Barack Dukakis was too cowardly to put his name on the Michigan ballot because HRC was going to destroy him.
Voters voted. Barack Dukakis wants to get the nomination by excluding votes from two big states.
More and more this woman is a seriously disturbed individual.
And her husband is a racist.
Both developments took place since the day Barack Dukakis announced he would run before he finished his first year of his first term in the US Senate.
Not half as much as his spiritual mentor Rev. "God damn America" Wright's black racism hurt Obama.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has endorsed Mrs. Clinton, defended her remarks in a telephone interview Friday evening. “I’ve heard her make that argument before,” Mr. Kennedy said, speaking on his cell phone as he drove to the family compound in Hyannis for the holiday weekend. “It sounds like she was invoking a familiar historical circumstance in support of her argument for continuing her campaign.”
Mr. Kennedy said he has been traveling and had not seen the video or read Mrs. Clinton’s comments, but said his support of Mrs. Clinton has not wavered.
We don't have to. We'll let RFK Jr. defend it.

Obama just lost some more votes with this one, no question about it. Lots of people are getting very weary of his constant victimhood by association. Very, very weary.
Yup.
Chip...chip...chip.....
In a statement, Kennedy Jr. said: “It is clear from the context that Hillary was invoking a familiar political circumstance in order to support her decision to stay in the race through June. I have heard her make this reference before, also citing her husband's 1992 race, both of which were hard fought through June. I understand how highly charged the atmosphere is, but I think it is a mistake for people to take offense.”
I'm sure it has nothing to do with the way that Hillary and her automatons like you, have been subtly race-baiting all along and pretending like they're just speaking for the truth of what already exists in "white America" or are standing up for women. Please, the primary didn't become polarized along racial lines till the Clintons and the Democratic party establishment that work for her got going.
Boring boring boring.
Do you Obamapaths realize how BORED the 75% of the electorate who rejected your candidate are with your race whining? More every day too.
By November, we 75% will make sure Barack Dukakis is recognized as the joke he is.
