Hillary's June Bug

Clinton held a somewhat Baghdad Bob-ish presser today in which she vowed to press on towards the nomination. Like her aides on this morning's conference call, she reminded people that her husband didn't lock up the nomination until June of 1992. "We tradiitionally have gone longer than you've seen in the last couple of cycles," Hillary said. For those who missed it, this might be a good time to check out Jake Tapper's fact-check which establishes that Bill had it wrapped up by April of '92.

P.S.: Cruel, cruel Milbank:

Clinton sure knows how to pick her locations. For her hastily scheduled appearance in West Virginia - her bid to show her resilience and defiance - she chose a spot made famous as a hospital for the severely wounded.

The symbolism of the hospital site isn't as tragic as Clinton's picking the only filly in the Kentucky Derby and then having the poor horse collapse and be euthanized after coming in second to a horse named Big Brown.

GSpinks and Hemlock41: I too had heard that Hillary was rooting for the filly; I was horrified when she went down and had to be euthanized.

Ah, Dana, the former TNR staffer, the scourge of the White House.

Sadly, Hillary has now decided to don the mantle of Jerry Brown.  Yeah, there was a lot of suspense in that battle.  Perhaps she'll next run for mayor of Buffalo?  Utica?  (What's New York's equivalent of Oakland?)
