Clinton mentions Kennedy assassination

Hillary Clinton appeared to raise the specter of assassination in defending her decision to stay in the Democratic race despite Barack Obama closing in on the delegate number to clinch.

In an interview with the editorial board of the Sioux Falls Argus Leader in South Dakota, she dismissed calls to drop out, adding, "My husband did not wrap up the nomination in 1992 until he won the California primary somewhere in the middle of June, right? We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California. I don't understand it."

Obama last year received Secret Service protection earlier than any other presidential candidate, and his supporters have privately and publicly worried about his safety, citing the assassinations of Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. in 1968.

“Senator Clinton's statement before the Argus Leader editorial board was unfortunate and has no place in this campaign,” Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton said in a statement.

Clinton has had Secret Service protection since her days as first lady.
