I thought that she was just giving an example of another nomination that went on for a long time. I didn't think she was talking about Obama being assassinated. Is there something I'm missing here?
it's an interesting situation. you could take it as that she's very calculated and mentioned it in a matter-of-fact manner to subtly suggest that she's either hoping he gets assassinated or maybe discourage as much confidence in obama. it could simply be that she's stating an innocuous fact about the late primary.
the cynicism that she spawns with regards to her motives and intentions leads most to pick the former. mainly because she has engaged in such tactics before....even playing the race card and somehow implying that because bill is blacker than obama that she's the black candidate. she also has used fear tactics with 9/11 but not to the extent that rudy did. her campaign has been very much populous actions and fear-mongering along with trying to portray herself as a minority while going against another minority.
really, the bottom line is that her policies are almost exactly the same as bush's but with more obvious socialistic tendencies. obama is slightly different on foreign policy but in the end, he represents no real change in foreign policy on a whole. there is no candidate who represents a positive change. it's annoying...even the libertarians picked a garbage candidate (bob barr sucks).
