Bill’s not helping Hillary, he’s hurting her.

She’s on the run and scrambling; Obama’s in control and has the momentum.

Why is this?  Because of stupid comments by the Clinton’s that brought the racial card into the campaign.

Now the Clinton’s are in a damage control mode suggesting that Obama injected racial tension into the presidential contest.

When in fact it was the Clinton’s that played the racial card by suggesting, as Hillary did, that it was President Lyndon Johnson that got the Civil Rights Act of 1964 passed, not Martin Luther King.

And of course it was Bill that made the ‘fairy tale’ comment of Obama about his opposition to the war.

For such a well oiled machine, as the left wing media portrays the Clinton campaign, they sure do make some sophomoric  mistakes.

It escalated this Sunday on the talk shows and despite all the Clinton damage control they seem to come up with the short straw.

Obama called Clinton’s accusations “ludicrous,” and said he found Clinton’s comments about King to be ill-advised and unfortunate.

“If Senator Clinton wants to be distracted by the sorts of political point-scoring that was evident today then that is going to be her prerogative,” Obama said.

A rival, John Edwards added his voice to the chorus of criticism,”I must say I was troubled recently to see a suggestion that real change that came not through the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King but through a Washington politician. I fundamentally disagree with that,” Edwards told more than 200 people gathered at a predominantly black Baptist church in Sumter, S.C.

It appears that the gloves are off in the Democratic race.

While Clinton praised Obama’s eloquence, according to an AP report, she also stepped up her contention that his record did not match his rhetoric.

The AP reported that she noted that while he had spoken out eloquently against the war in 2002 before coming to the Senate, he voted repeatedly to fund the war once in office.

According to the AP, Obama scoffed at her suggestion of an inconsistent record on the war.  Campaigning in Las Vegas, he said he voted for war funding out of an obligation to support the troops, and noted other prominent Democrats, Sens. Edward M. Kennedy and Barbara Boxer, who voted the same way.

Enter Michael Bloomberg, Mayor of New York, as an independent, with billions of his own money to spend.  We are in for some interesting times.
