Clintons play the race card:
Clinton surrogate Geraldine Ferraro:
"If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position. And if he was a woman (of any color) he would not be in this position. He happens to be very lucky to be who he is. And the country is caught up in the concept."
Oh yeah, because history shows that being black is such a great advantage in winning a major party's endorsement.
And wait a second, isn't Hillary a woman? And isn't she "in this position"? I thought the point of the Clinton campaign was that the candidates were virtually tied!
You know, Carville once said something like, Pennsylvania is Pittsburgh in the West, Philadelphia in the East, and Alabama in the middle. And by Alabama he wasn't talking about winning the black vote.
I would link the Ferraro statement with the Vice President weirdness. So, the Clintons are going to lose big in Mississippi because of veiled race-baiting? They'll portray Obama's victory as a black victory and present themselves as woe-is-me whites in Pennsylvania.
