As a lifelong Democrat and a champion of civil rights and gender rights, I am saddened by the campaign in South Carolina. How strange to see my Senator, Hillary Clinton, adopt the mantle of Lee Atwater's "got ya!" politics. How sad for all America who thought the Democrats would be a welcome change from the lies and back alley tricks of the Bush Administration. No wonder S.C.'s newspaper, the State, endorsed Sen. Obama as a leader who could point us in a new direction. Shame on President Clinton, Shame on Senator Clinton you have run an embarrassing, reactionary campaign. This is not what America is looking for or needs in 2007.
