Unelectable = Black
The more insidious and constant racial game the Clintons have played throughout is the charge that Obama is "unelectable". I don't remember ever having heard that said about one candidate by another candidate of the same party. It really isn't an argument at all, but an ad hominem charge that, lacking specific reasons, to my ear sounds equivalent to "he can't be elected because he's black".
You don't have to have big racially sensitive ears to hear that particular dog whistle.
