Clinton thought she would glide to the nomination on name recognition and nostalgia alone.

"Plus they purposely seized on some inconsequential remarks by each of the Clintons to inflame racial tensions and mobilze black voters"

Are you serious? The Clinton campaign made a serious miscalculation in trying to paint Obama as the "black" candidate. And as recently as last week, Ed Rendell is still playing that game. Her own pollster told the media that latinos won't vote for a black candidate. And as an AA, and someone who has admired the Clintons since '92, I find these tactics appalling. Obama's campaign didn't start this, but it sure has been costly to the Clintons. Do I think the Clintons are racist? Probably not. Do I think they're above using race as a campaign tactic? Hell no.
