assassinations aside the two examples she had (clinton and kennedy) referred to when california's primary was in june. this year it was in february so her point is invalid.


Her point was that it's not always a case where presidential candidates get early corronations before the convention. There have been times where it's gone into June. This is the first time however, I've seen so much effort & nastiness to push a candidate out. The excuse is it's about unifying the party but it's the efforts that started even before PA to get Hillary to drop out that's hurting the party. Obama supporters may get their guy the nomination but it will be pyrrhic victory.

but she pointed to two examples where that victory was in the california primary which was held in june. at this point the big primaries are over. her analogy is faulty. it's like if bush defended his record vacation days in the first few months of office by saying "well in the old days no president started work before march" which overlooks that the innaugaration used to be march 4th.

Bow ties are coool.
