Argus Leader editor responds to RFK controversy
Hillary Clinton's campaign has just sent out a statement released by the editor at the South Dakota newspaper whose editorial board Clinton was meeting with when she referenced the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy in discussing her rationale for remaining in the presidential race.
In the statement, Randell Beck, the executive editor of the Argus Leader, defends Clinton, saying, "The context of the question and answer with Sen. Clinton was whether her continued candidacy jeopardized party unity this close to the Democratic convention. Her reference to Mr. Kennedy's assassination appeared to focus on the timeline of his primary candidacy and not the assassination itself."
The losers who gave us Sarah Palin 
Clergy say, "I won't"
And still our vote mattered
