You write "in essence..." when the only possible meaning is "her opponents are interpreting..." Honi soit qui mal y pense. BTW, I hope that one of these problems sinks Hillary, but I'd like her to go down with a clean shot. Brian A, nice phrasing you’ve got there.

Clinton a pass on the intention of her remark, the premise simply isn't true: while historic nominating seasons may have lasted later, they didn't necessarily last longer. In 1968, for example, the first Democratic primary was March 2. Thus, when Sen. Kennedy was killed in early-June, the election season was barely 3 months old. The advent of June will mark the sixth month of electoral campaigning in 2008. While I’m willing to give Sen.

Putting aside the ghoulishness of that, which she presumably didn't intend, it was a silly statement, because she could just as easily step in if she suspended her campaign today.
