"But I also think it's still early, I mean everybody is so focused on where we are right now, I, I, guess I remember in June of '92 that's when Bill really wrapped up the nomination, the middle of June after the California primary. Um, You know, I remember very well what happened in the California primary in 1968 as Sen. Kennedy won that primary.

See the letter written to Ted Kennedy about this, posted here at DU:

Also, the constant refrain from her surrogates on TV: "ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN." The most egregious incident of this on the infamous Larry King Episode where Clinton Surrogate, the ex-ABC News Anchor, said: "White people won't vote for a black man." Then went on to invoke "anything can happen".. several times to the astonishment of the rest of the panel.

1. I remember that day as well. I think HRC has been very brave, considering n/t

[K Gardner]

3. You're disgusting.

[Fredda Weinberg]

7. History isn't pretty, either. Sorry if you have a problem w/it. It ain't personal n/t

[dchill]

6. Yeah, she's brave, all right...

and just being honest, as well, right? :puke:

[Fredda Weinberg]

11. I thought children gave up magical thinking ... adults accept possible consequences n/t

[dchill]

15. You have perfected the Hillaric Non-Sequitur...

Congratulations!

[sniffa]

25. But where's the resume?

And the self-congratulations?

:shrug:

[dchill]

28. At the bottom of a box..

of Cracker Jack!

[sniffa]

24. Was there a race riot that day too?

[stillcool]

26. It's the 'catastrophic event' we've all been...

hoping for. I agree. She is very brave to hope for such a thing as a means of delivering the nomination to her.

Clinton campaign on ropes
BY JOHN GUERRIERO

Murray, who has supported Bill and Hillary Clinton since 1991, said these are tough times for people like him who are in the Clinton camp but want to unify the party.

"The sense is, absent some catastrophic event that would take place in this campaign, it's going to be very difficult to see a path to victory for Hillary given what happened" Tuesday, Murray said.

Analysis: Could Clinton land the VP nomination?

Several Clinton associates say there is still a ray of hope among some in her campaign: that a "catastrophic" revelation about Obama might make it possible for her to win the presidential nomination. But barring that, Hillary and Bill Clinton recognize that her candidacy is being abandoned and rejected by superdelegates whom she once expected to win over and that, even if she were to win the popular vote in combined primary states, she will almost certainly be denied the nomination.

CBSNews.com Reports: N.Y. Senator Now Faces Nearly Impossible Odds To Capturing Democratic Nomination

May 7, 2008

Clinton's Path To Victory Slipping Away
There is one scenario which does work for Clinton and that’s a massive movement of superdelegates leaving Obama and supporting her. The party leaders could do that, but it would take some unforeseen development in the race between now and the convention for them to do so. Obama, in some way, would have to be rendered so unelectable that the party rejects him at the convention. That’s not much to hang a hat on but it’s starting to look like her best option.

And even that might not be a viable option, said Joe Trippi. “Even if the catastrophic thing existed or happened, if she were perceived to have caused it, I think it would end her campaign too,” Trippi said. I don’t think there’s any way now for her to gain the nomination. She’s at the point now where if she tries to make a case against Obama, it will actually speed up superdelegates joining his cause just to shut the campaign down.”

But Trippi notes that the Obama campaign and Democratic leaders are still likely to give Clinton the room she needs to go forward on her own terms, provided that she does so in a positive manner. “I think there’s lots of tolerance for her going on, running the table into the convention and having a presence there,” he said. “But if she actually tries to compete in the trenches for the nomination in a way that looks like it’s damaging the nominee … I don’t think there will be any tolerance for that at all.”

29. And now that she's said it...

it will NEVER happen (delivering the nomination to her.) If she continues on, it will only get worse for her. And her supporters. I wonder how this will affect campaign contributions...

[Raine]

35. Brave, considering...what is she brave about?

[Common Sense Party]

2. Video of the RFK mention:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vyFqmp4wzI

Truly bizarre.

[K Gardner]

4. Thanks.. that's easier than winding through the whole MSNBC vid link !

[kenny blankenship]

5. Yes. Seems she can't quite get this scenario out of mind. Keeps circling back to it.

Obsessively.

[Fredda Weinberg]

8. She's following RFK's footsteps ... I don't blame her. I've had the same thought n/t

[K Gardner]

10. Go spam another thread with your disgusting tripe.

[Fredda Weinberg]

12. I don't believe DU rules requires my silence. I will respect your POV, but express mine n/t

[kenny blankenship]

16. I'll bet you have the same thought.

[Raine]

36. "Followng RFK's footsteps"?

How and where?

[Spazito]

9. Exactly, Clinton did not "mis-speak", she and her spokespeople have been...

bringing this up repeatedly. It is appalling, despicable and has FINALLY been noticed by the mainstream media.

[progdog]

14. Everything they say

is calculated. Despicable.

[WA98296]

13. That's right NOT the first time. She's got this on her mind.

[CoffeeCat]

20. She's a horrible, horrible...

...really selfish person.

Anyone who could say something like that--and be so focused on their
own fantastical ego-driven dreams--is a complete narcissist.

She's just reaffirming to all of us who had her figured out years ago. She's
detestable scum.

[hfojvt]

17. more faulty memory on her part, and again the press does not call it

I have previously found and posted articles from March of 1992 that declared Clinton the obvious nominee. Sure, he may not have technically had enough delegates to nominate until June, but the campaign was basically over by early March and the 'campaigning' after that was for the General election, a cakewalk victory lap as far as the primary is concerned. The statement that Clinton was still campaigning in the primary in June is just more historical revisionism.

[K Gardner]

19. Excellent point ! We need to email that to Matthews, et al.

[K Gardner]

21. "Bill Clinton was obvious nominee in MARCH 1992." Thought it bore repeating. She's a LIAR.

[hfojvt]

23. it is worth repeating, so I looked up my evidence

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x4624951#4625187

My memory was a little faulty. April 7th was the date it definitely ended when Clinton won in New York and his chief rival, Jerry Brown, finished 3rd.

[Muttocracy]

18. :(

[K Gardner]

22. At least two other incidents ON TOP OF THIS ONE, have now been posted here.

[Nedsdag]

27. Did she throw her book bag across the room when she heard the news?

[dchill]

30. Hurled. The word was "hurled."

And so did I - when I heard her say it.
:puke:

[Imagevision]

31. And I will always remember the disrespect Hillary showed him on 5/23/08

[New Dawn]

32. Now Clinton is making not so subtle death threats...

This is getting completely outrageous. She needs to be expelled from the US Senate as well as withdrawing from the presidential race. She is simply a deranged psychotic and belongs in an institution.

[Generator]

33. Yep kicking

Again, you've got to be blind if you can't simplify it down.

*** She has death of her opponent on her short list as a last chance at winning.****

It's that simple.

And EVEN if it's in your mind, you don't say it-much less three times! That's a self assassination.

You don't get anymore obvious scorpio dragon lady than that. Out out damn spot!

[WA98070]

34. BACK-OFF! She was tired in April too! Can't wait for that 3AM call.
