This video succinctly illustrates the reason so many Democrats have lost faith in the Clinton brand. After all the staunch denials that Bill and Hillary ever played dubious race cards over the past two weeks, Bill dismisses Obama's victory (and the importance of the vote in South Carolina) by pointing out that, hey, so what, that other black guy won here, too.
The message? Let the blacks have their little party. Just like in '84, and '88, it won't mean jack in the end. Classy.
In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around. Please read our Help and Feedback section for more info.
