Are people overreacting to Hillary's reasons why she should stay in the race?

when it comes to overreacting or not, I always look at the source. In the case of Hiliary Clinton, she's said it many times, "words mean something." She is also very quick to jump on an opponents error and seize the moment. Given that, I'm not going to overreact and go so far to say I am personally offended by what she said, by I do believe she deserves to have her feet held to the fire because she would certainly do the same to anyone else.

Plus, given the fact that she is an extremely calculating individual, I do believe that there is a well thought out purpose for everything she says. Maybe she underestimated how offensive the statement really is, and if so, it's just another in a long line of mis-speaks she has engaged in over the past few months. But given her shady past when it comes to mysterious deaths and murders of nearly 60 private citizens who have had dealings with her and Bill, that also enters into the mix. So, in this case, maybe it's not so much overreacting as much as she is getting what she deserves

This is just some more rhetoric from a long drawn out presidential campaign

The problem is what she said and what people picked up on is too different things. She is just saying that the future is uncertain and that anything can happened to change the events so this is why she is keeping up her campaign ....

people tend to make more of nothing..its politics

I am afraid that we are not. It was a tasteless comment and will forego the wrath of the Republicans, the Democrats, the Independants and anyone else with half a brain.

You don't say on national television , or even in the public view at all that I am running in case....my opponent gets assassinated. Even if it wasn't the way it was meant, politics is a place meant for c areful words, and she, obviously, was very uncareful indeed.

It would be akin to me saying, I go to college because the rest of my friends are idiots...and I have to save the country...

Yes, I do think that people are over reacting to her statement. Especially Obama! I don't think that she was implying that anyone should shoot him, but that the race has lasted until June before & using a name we all know well, Robert Kennedy, stated that he was campaigning in CA in June when he was killed. Perhaps a poor choice of words, but nothing to harm Obama was being suggested.

Everyone is overreacting if he/she senses that Clinton's statement was anything other than making her case (once again) about why she can't quit her campaign until every vote is counted. She made the comment about how her husband and RFK stayed in their races until June. It was a comparison about history versus the current campaign. Case closed.

Didn't we tell you about the Clintons' throughout the 90's?

No they are not. The RFK assassination comment was awful.

YES.

She never said anything like that.
