Ouch! Bill Clinton endorses Rush against Obama!

[peoli]

"It fell to Bill Clinton to deliver the coup de grace. The President broke his policy of staying neutral in primaries and endorsed Rush in a glowing radio spot. When it was over, Rush piled up 61% of the vote, compared with 30% for Obama. He lost the most heavily black wards by more than 4 to 1. The race was called before Obama could even make his way to a would-be victory party at the Ramada Inn in Hyde Park."

Obama said later, "You cut me deep, Bill. You cut me real deep."

2. Misleading title, but still an interesting point in the Clinton/Obama history. Good article.

3. Really interesting article...

I found it ironic that the article speaks of his ease of getting the working class white vote (esp. Irish), but extreme difficulties in getting the black vote in his early days.

Shows this pigeon-holing of core constituencies is all bull.

4. Whoa. Bill Clinton is one mean-spirited and bitter old man. eom.
