It is truly over: MyDD calls for Clinton to end her campaign.

[americanstranger]

This must now end.

Over the past weeks, many have called for Clinton to end her campaign based on metrics. But with the infrastructure-building the primary keeps delivering, I've been reasonably comfortable waiting until June for closure.

But this is unacceptable.

The United States has a history of profound political violence - and the use of violence to oppress and coerce. And while I'm not quite willing to accept that Clinton spoke maliciously - it doesn't matter. There is no excuse for flippantly referencing assassination, especially given the historic nature of Obama's campaign and our nation's grim history of racial oppression through violence. When Hillary Clinton speaks of our history, she is not reflecting academically or only in a vacuum - her words and influence are real. To act otherwise is negligent, at best.

No context can save her. She must go.

She finally went too far. When probably THE biggest blog that supports her says it's done - it's done.

1. Wow.

Well, there you have it.

[cui bono]

2. Yep. He's right too, that her words reflected negligence at best.

And a call to action at worst. Not presidential at all.

[Barack_America]

7. And the fact this is the THIRD time she's mentioned his assassination...

What's she getting at?

Several Primary seasons have gone until June without assassination. In '68, the primary season was already into June BEFORE the assassination.

So why the hell would she mention the assassination on 3 separate occasions? What does the assassination have to do with long primaries?

[cui bono]

15. Agreed. No reason she needed to use that word to make the point she claims

to have been making.

3. But Jereme hasn't said it yet.

4. Not only has the fat lady sung...

Not only has the fat lady sung, but she has gargled, brushed her teeth, and gone to bed.

Hillary, don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.

5. I think some people are crossing their fingers for a magic bullet

It is fucking sickening!

[Schema Thing]

6. I heard Taylor Marsh was going to blog that we Obamanites should "just...

...get over it", but her fingers were blown off in some sort of freak accident.


Go figure.

:shrug:

[Occam Bandage]

8. Wow. Surprised to see MyDD turn against her.

[americanstranger]

11. I nearly fell out of my chair.

Reaction to Clinton's quote is unanimous, on both sides of the blogosphere.

Those hoping for this to go away may as well go blow their whole paycheck on Lotto tickets.

She committed campaign seppuku today.

9. i have to agree

and i am one of the people who thought she should stay in the race. however, her commment was was incredibly stupid, and it's time for this to end.

[populistdriven]

10. Hardball question for Hillary

Can anyone tell us reasons why a political candidate would invoke assassination as a reason to continue running in a race which there is no mathematical way of winning possible?

[americanstranger]

13. Great question.

I predict you'll get no takers.

12. Hillary supporters--Do you really want a president who is incapable of thinking before she

speaks? Do you realize that as a superpower, our president will set the tone and his/her attitude will determine whether we have 8 years of peace or 8 years of endless wars.

[CreekDog]

14. and the most reasonable blog of that group too

interesting

[DevonRex]

16. I am stunned. Thank goodness. nt

[Melinda]

17. Hell. froze. over.

[Turn CO Blue]

18. Well, there's the pull of the light switch for sure. If myDD is calling it

then it's been called, and how.
