Hillary: I'm still in it because Obama Could be Assassinated Just like Bobby Kennedy

"We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California. You know I just, I don't understand it. [why people are asking me to get out]"
Hillary Clinton - May 23 2008

I really do want to give Mrs. Clinton the benefit of the doubt here...people utter things in the heat of a campaign that may be true but are better left unsaid. But I sense that this comment came from deep down somewhere in the darkest corners of her mind. Nobody just blurts out this kind of thing in public. She had been thinking about it... hopefully not hoping for such a horrible tragedy, but one cannot help but wonder if her ceaseless ambition, her devastating sense of disappointment, hasn't finally driven her to the brink of madness. And this at a moment when Bobby Kennedy's brother Ted is diagnosed with brain cancer.
