Not that I hold Bill Clinton in high regard or anything, but the way he is acting on the campaign trail is absolutely disgusting. It's one thing to attack a candidate on the issues (or even his moral character, ahem, Monica Lewinsky) but it's completely something else to portray someone else as the 'black candidate' in the hopes that it will marginalize him.

Said Bill Clinton today in Columbia, SC: "Jesse Jackson won South Carolina in '84 and '88. Jackson ran a good campaign. And Obama ran a good campaign here."
This was in response to a question about Obama saying it "took two people to beat him." Jackson had not been mentioned.
Boy, I can't understand why anyone would think the Clintons are running a race-baiting campaign to paint Obama as "the black candidate."

Democrats, how can you put up with this guy anymore?
