Here’s Hillary Clinton, explaining why it makes sense for her to still be in the race:
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.
The analogy to 1968 actually is somewhat accurate, in the sense that in June, 1968 Hubert Humphrey was far more likely than Robert Kennedy to get the nomination. And I’m sure that’s what Clinton had in mind; i.e., that she, not Obama, is playing the role of Kennedy here.
Still: bad idea.
