OK it seemed like a strange thing to reference, and I didn't really get it, but this clip put it into perspective.

Her point is that the person who wanted RFK dead waited till after the CA primary because that was when it was apparent that he was going to win. Her point is that people have been wanting her to drop out for the longest time despite it not being a lock that she's going to lose.

Well why not just say that primaries have gone all the way to the middle of June in the past? Why reference an assassination? I think Olberman had a very interesting point when he said that Clinton's comment seemed to imply that she's simply waiting for someone to assassinate Obama. Shit if they can get outraged at Obama for shit that his pastor said, why shouldn't there be an outrage for something Clinton ACTUALLY said?

She did. She said the Bill didn't wrap up the nomination till June. She then used the RFK assassination as a second example.

I still don't see why she would reference an assassination. Why wouldn't she just say that RFK also campaigned into June?

Because she wanted to empathize her point. A lot of people have campaigned in June. Most of them lost. So simply saying RFK campaigned is an incomplete story. By pointing to his assassination she's showing that people (an the assassin) realized that in June he was going to win. Now it would of been better for her to say that RFK campaigned till June until he was assasinated. She probably was just thinking off the top if her head and threw the incident out there and didn't clarify. She's not as good a speaker as Obama.
