Everyone doesn't necessarily remember the 1968 race
went to the convention, and that wasn't even her

full swing in June; RFK had just won the California
primary when he was shot. *That's* what people
remember, and that's why she used it as an example.
But it's a false example, Judy:
"For those last few hardcore Hillary supporters who say she's only
making an historic reference to the Primaries going until June, keep
this in mind: The 1968 New Hampshire primary was held on March 12,
1968, fully 3 months later than the 2008 primary which was held on
January 8, 2008. In 1992, the New Hampshire primary was on February
18, a full month and a half later than 1968. So the June argument is
a straw man. Also, in 1968, on 13 states had primaries. For Hillary
to compare then to now is apples and cumquats."
