RFK Statement-This is the Hillary Knock out- Ali-Foreman

I have suspected for the last three weeks that Hillary was feigning playing nice, seeming to run out the string to June 3 (no negative attacks) where she would drop out, when her REAL goal was to go all the way to the convention, appeal any Fla/Mich compromise, and work to get a tie (the nuclear option- Rachel Maddow theory)

She is such a Machevelian figure, and skilled politician, with such a huge base of women supporters, and such a strong brand name (H is former 2 time Pres) that I thought she would succeed all the way until the floor of the convention, when a wounded Obama would "win" only at Denver.

She was the king, the front runner. I envisioned the Ali- Foreman fight, Foreman (Hil) was a huge favorite going in (though not well liked), Ali started winning during fight, but it was still a huge effort to finally knock Foreman down and out at the end, and he was like a rock until he went down.  

Tonight is that night; I strongly believe that if the supers and party have any sense, Hil is knocked out tonight with this horrid, tone deaf comment. The pressure and desperation got to her.

Other diaries have correctly outlined the terrible nature of the statement, and the rambling non responsive non apology. But I believe she has doomed herself. Supers should run; rules committee she demand reasonable FLA/MICH compromise, and Hil is OFF for good for VP Selection.    

I really believe that the crassness, horridness, and at best unsympathetic and tone deaf nature of this statement will raise her negatives even more, give Obama sympathy, and cover to be a bit pushier, and that she has really now doomed herself. The MSM coverage for her is an otherwordly funeral type coverage right now. Unbelievable. But appropriate.
