I'm not a Hillary Clinton fan -- in the least -- but the reaction to her remark about Robert Kennedy was blown way out of proportion. Upon review, it seems to me that she was simply making the point that there is still a slim ray of hope for her, and that there have been similar situations in past presidential primary races -- including the one during which RFK was assassinated. Whether you agree with her belief that she still has a chance is a different matter, but as far as the Kennedy comment, she wasn't trying to make political capital out of it; she was merely citing an historical precedent.
