NP Rank:
Hillary Staying in Because Obama Could Get Assassinated
Oh... my... God!
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.
Obama's camp immediately fired back.
"Sen. Clinton's statement before the Argus Leader editorial board was unfortunate and has no place in this campaign," Obama campaign spokesman said in a statement.
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.

BigT, I like this story. It's good stuff. You know, perhaps Hillary should quit while she is ahead, cause that's what happens when your mouth is running faster than your brain can process what you're saying.
Nothing like a Politician to give Nutjobs ideas!
