Take a breath
I think both Bill and Hillary Clinton need to step back and think about what their campaign is doing both to the country and to the Clinton legacy. Perhaps Hillary doesn't give a fig about the "Clinton" legacy, or doesn't think Bill deserves a legacy, but Bill should. It is undeniable that the Hillary Clinton campaign, and Bill Clinton himself, have, out of desperation to win at whatever cost, shown themselves willing to discount the black vote and yes, play the race card. They have allowed the campaign to tiptoe right up to the line of calling Barack Obama 'uppity,' because he can't bowl and doesn't like waffles. I never thought I would see the day...
They will not walk away from this campaign unstained. But the sooner they walk away, the sooner they can start rebuilding their image as a couple that actually cares about anyone other than themselves.
