Was the race card played on Bill Clinton?

A number of people from Obama's campaign, the media, and his followers (examples on YA abound) have been talking about how the demographics of PA are/were unfavorable. This is why they lost. This is why they did not expect to win.


Conversely, a lot of people have been talking about how very favorable the demographics of NC are for Obama. Everyone is expecting him to win, and by a considerable margin. A number of his more staunch supporters on here have said "Just wait for North Carolina..." etc. etc. (One even went on to elaborate with comments that were truly racist *cough*Gale H*cough*) Why are they expecting to win by 10 in NC when they lost by 10 in PA? Magic? No.


After Obama won HANDILY in South Carolina, what did Bill Clinton say that was so bad? Jesse Jackson won SC twice? That's a statement of fact. A significant fact considering AA voters are voting for Obama like 9 to 1. He was alluding to Obama's demographic edge, using an example to do so.

Was the race card played on Bill Clinton?
At one of the debates hosted by MSNBC, Tim Russert questioned Sen Obama on the issue of the "race card."





Russert held up several pieces of paper that Obama's staff was distributing to the media as talking points on Bill Clinton. The public does not see this. It's a strategy to go negative on Hillary by making race an issue on anything said by Bill Clinton.





You can see the question on YouTube. Obama has used race from the start, something the media tends to stay away from.

I am almost afraid to comment


BUT


I think its rather disgusting that black Americans have thrown the Clintons under the bus after the 30+ yrs of hard work they have put in to get racial equality for them


ALL BECAUSE


a "brother" is running, one with very little experience (that doesn't matter to them) and one that has controversy all around him regarding his own racism (its ok he's black)
Reply:Yup, it was, and very successfully, too. Just like they pulled it out and played it on Gerry Ferraro.
Reply:More Black, black, black,White,white white. Bill put his foot on his mouth that's all.
Reply:Bill's feelings were hurt because up until now black people liked him but they turned on him...
Reply:What does a race card look like? Car someone explain this to me?
