A grim scenario for Clinton or preparations for blast off?

And seemingly failed [...]

Wolfson: Hillary Innocent — Obama Victimized Clinton and Is Responsible for Inflaming Assassination Remarks

(Update I and Update II below)
As usual, Sen. Clinton did nothing wrong when she made her remarks about the assassination of Robert Kennedy last week – it’s all Barack Obama’s and the media’s fault. That’s what Hillary campaign Communications Director Howard Wolfson said on CBS’s "Face the Nation" this morning.

The original post on Olbermann’s comment was somehow accidentally deleted. I can’t remember (or recover) what I might have added to Keith’s commentary, however, it would pale in comparison to the disapprobation Olbermann levied on Hillary Clinton.
Here’s the video.

Still catching up on past events — Clinton says she regrets her comments that Robert Kennedy’s assassination was one of the reasons she remains in the Democratic race. No an apology, please forgive me, or I was wrong. And not even to Obama or to the American people — only to the Kennedy’s

The Ultimate Team - Rudy and Hillary

Check this out.
Notice how incredibly similar Hillary Clinton’s new ad blaming the Washington punditry (in post below) is to Rudy Giuliani’s ad blaming the Washington punditry when they said he was toast.

Ben Smith and Jonathan Martin get the credit for discovering the similarities.

Hillary: It’s the media’s fault

Hillary has had little choice but to adhere to the warnings from Democratic Party leaders that she dial back her rhetoric against Obama. But they never warned her about the media. So, now that she can’t demonize Obama publicly, she’s running a new ad in Oregon, “What’s Right,” and blaming the media.
The Hillary campaign’s slogan [...]

Hillary has won two states by 60 percent or more – West Virginia and [...]

Conspiracy theories

It’s a vast left-wing conspiracy.

162 delegate lead is not ‘close’

Hillary told a few lies in her speech tonight, like "the number of delegates needed to win is 2,209," but this statement definitely surpasses that.
So as we look at the stakes in this election, I think we can all agree it’s been unprecedented. We haven’t had an election like it for as long as anyone [...]

Hillary can chug beer, but she can’t count

Hillary tonight — You can take the White House away from me when you pry it from my cold, dead fingers.
If you voted for Barack Obama in an election before tonight, your vote does not count according to Clinton and Terry McAuliffe. McAuliffe admitted on MSNBC tonight they cannot get within 100 delegates of [...]
