It's getting ugly on the Democratic Side. 2 observations:
1. The reaction to the Clintons' comments concerning Obama's "fairy tale" candidacy and MLK and LBJ's respective roles in bringing about Civil Rights legislation was a bit overblown... one needs to tread lightly with these topics, of course, but the response was overly theatrical. In the end, we saw this as a way for black leaders to align themselves with Obama while maintaining their official neutrality.
2. The Clinton camp then DID pull out the race card, however, by accusing Obama's camp of trying to play the race card. To quote Geraldine Ferraro (remember her?), now a Hillary (female) attack dog: "The Obama campaign is appealing to their base and their base is the African-American community." If that's not an overt appeal to "Whitey Makes Righty," we don't know what is.
