Mary, this is the type of classy politics that many Americans would like to see, not the one demonstrated by the Clintons. Message 24619520 Time to put this issue behind and go and get the WH for the ordinary Americans and not for any one particular individual's personal ambitions: Obama and Hillary included.

Mary- the blogs, threads, and news has been filled with different interpretations. Personally, I think she just stuck her foot in it. It was an awkward comparison anyway, given that the primaries were held months later in 68 than they are nowadays. And there was no reason to use the trigger word- assassination- to make the point that some primaries have extended. This was one of the reasons Colin Powell's wife was so adamantly opposed to his running, and obviously the secret service takes it seriously also, starting Obama's protection early. Now you may believe that it's hypersensitive to react in that way, but it IS an interpretation, and denial doesn't get rid of it.

>>Could you give me one example of another interpretation?<< Mary - I already have. Let's not go around in circles about this. You haven't answered my question as to what possible relevance the RFK assissination could have to the question of why Clinton feels she needs to stay in the race. I understand that Humphrey was way ahead and then RFK won the California primary. (I was watching television that night, and was very excited about it.) That part, since it pertains to the nomination race, would be relevant to the question. If that's what she had said, everyone would have understood what she meant. But that's not the part of the story she mentioned. She didn't bring that part up at all. What does RFK being shot have to do with Hillary staying in this race or not? - Allen
