39. Hillary must not think so. Ferraro wouldn't keep spreading her BS without Hill's marching orders.

interested in giving Obama his accountability moment.

9. um, no. it's not, and you have zero credibility
none. zip. nada. In fact, it's widely documented that the Clintons stepped in it. And Ferraro is a foul thing.

13. Can;t she just say "I misspoke. I'm sorry I wasn't clearer" instead of making it worse?
Jeeze, even if one sgreed with what she says she was trying to say, she said it badly.

If she'd apologize for that, it'd be a lot easier to just move on.

56. But she didn't misspeak. She meant every word she said.
I think we could all understand if she truly misspoke. It's the fact that she defiantly defends her racially-charged comments which leads me to believe this is how she really feels.

It makes me very sad.

is prove that the Obama camp has been right all along with the accusations of racism.

24. What I don't understand...
is that the Clinton surrogates keep claiming that
the Obama people keep playing the race card.

I don't get it. I have never ever heard Obama
or his folks do or say anything remotely racially insensitive.

In fact, I think they tend to be overcautious..

It's as if his very presence brings up thoughts and images
that they interprete as race bait.

I simply don't get the logic...

35. actually Obama can't play the race card successfully, it's bad strategy for him
if identity politics take center stage, he loses because he is outnumbered. therefore at every opportunity he tries to be above racial politics.

that's what's going on here. it's not just that he is more fair-minded or something, political expediency makes it a bad idea for him, but a plausible, though reprehensible strategy for Hillary.
