I'm glad Hillary Clinton's cynical race-baiting ate it.
Her official policy positions might be slightly more progressive than Obama's, but race-baiting is the strategy of conservative tools.

3. This:
Edited on Sat Jan-26-08 08:43 PM by Heaven and Earth
"They are getting votes, to be sure, because of their race or gender. That’s why people tell me Hillary doesn’t have a chance of winning here," former President Clinton said at one stop as he campaigned for his wife, strongly suggesting that blacks would not support a white alternative to Obama.

Clinton campaign strategists denied any intentional effort to stir the racial debate. But they said they believe the fallout has had the effect of branding Obama as "the black candidate," a tag that could hurt him outside the South.

not to mention trying to make him into Jesse Jackson by comparing a South Carolina primary to Jackson's caucus wins in '84 and '88.

2. Hillary's my third chance but the "race baiting" didn't happen
What's the biggest "race baiting" thing she said? It's media groupthink at work, IMO.

4. Congrats to Obama for successfully Swiftboating Clinton on Race.
His cynical race-baiting won the day in SC.
Now, go try it in 20 states and once and Hope it doesn't bite you in the ass.
