Hillary's trying to make a point about statistical improbability into a "calendric" point.

Nobody's really catching this. She's creating a strawman--people aren't asking her to get out of the race just because June is late in the year.

It has a lot to do with the delegate count, which is all but mathematically impossible for her to overcome. Lost in this latest "gaffe" is Hillary's attempt to shift the argument from delegate count, to time of year.

1. Let me guess: It's not The Math, it's The Calendar.

Before the Calendar, it was The Map

Ever get the impression that Hillary is just going through every app on her iPhone, looking for one that will tell her she's winning?

Next: It's not The Math, it's The Solitaire!!!

2. Hillary's the sort of person who would cheat at solitaire

If such a thing were possible.

3. Quite true. And no one would care at all if she wasn't trying to trash our

nominee at the same time.

She's grasping at straws and lashing out at everyone - the opponent, the media, supposed
"sexists", etc.

5. Her "examples" were off and showed more hypocrisy. RFK only got IN the race 6 weeks before he got

assassinated and Bill Clinton had the nomination wrapped up months earlier than June. ALSO, as Tim Russert pointed out, HE claimed on tv, in March or April of '92, that Bill Clinton had the nomination wrapped up and the Clintons thought he was a mathematical GENIUS back THEN (since the count favored Bill Clinton), but now that it's OBAMA in that winning position, the Clintons are claiming media bias.
