Bill Clinton's Autobiography: 1992 Race Was Over in April
Nat the Dem has a good catch from Bill Clinton's autobiography, My Life:
On April 7, we also won in Kansas, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. On April 9, Paul Tsongas announced that he would not reenter the race. The fight for the nomination was effectively over.
Okay? Can we stop with this now?
We should, but Hillary is apparently firmly of the opinion that the SUPER-delegates are set, and will not abide her not being the Democrats presidential nominee, no matter how well Obama does.
This year there are two strong contenders. Unusual situation. Should be let to ride out its course.
From Blacks4Barack:
Black Americans, and many of all races are EXTREMELY disturbed by Hillary's insinuation of a possible assassination of Barack Obama. To imply that her reason for staying in the race is because anything can happen, then nonchalantly say that even Robert Kennedy was assassinated in June, meaning therefore she should stay in, is not only pitifully diobolical but incredibly dangerous.
As I read some of the comments, I sense that some do not understand the true impact of her deadly insinuation. Keep in mind, when it was first announced that Obama was running for President, the initial concern in Black America was his safety. "Would some nut sniper him"? Obama had to hire secret service security right out of the gate.....why? Because of the true possibilty of some nut doing harm to him or his family.
Also, during the last 50 years, the people who have been assassinated have ALL been leaders who were working toward equality for ALL. John F., Robert and of course Dr. King. So just the WORD assassination brings to us not only an extreme fear but is a reminder of the incredibly sad loss to America, particularly Blacks, at the hands of the sick and wicked. For Hillary Clinton, a so-called leader, to insinuate, for WHATEVER reason assassination....is beyond disgusting. It subliminally sparks the hatred, bigotry and destruction that most Americans have worked so hard to overcome.

Kathy: you're right, it's an unusual race, but I believe Jonathan was commenting on the fact that both Bill and Hillary keep saying that the '92 primary wasn't over until June, yet it appears even his autobiography contradicts that. I don't know enough about past primaries to know if there are good examples of extended primary races out there, but the '92 race isn't one of them.
