Reply #31: I don't recall ever claiming otherwise.

If you can point me to a post where I indicated that Obama was not running against Bill, feel free.

A campaign isn't just about the candidates. It's about organization. Obama is running against Bill, Hillary, and everyone related to Hillary's campaign. That's obvious, since we've already seen issues arise with Bob Kerrey and others. He's also running against Edwards and Kucinich, their spouses, and their campaigns.

The same is also respectively true for Hillary Clinton, John Edwards, and Dennis Kucinich.

The trick is knowing what to pay attention to and what to ignore. At this point in the campaign, I think picking a fight with Bill is a waste of time. Bill won't be on the ballot.
