The Clintons, Race and Obama

Victor Davis Hanson:

[Obama's] clearly as good a speaker as they come, as bright or brighter than Hillary, and understands American politics in a way reflective of someone 50-60 with decades more experience. So what will the Clintons do about that? We will soon learn but already from bits and pieces that leak out, and Bill's harangues, we are beginning to sense some of the same patronizing and resentment that heretofore was reserved only for conservative blacks. I would expect the Clintons will bite their lip and then adoptĀ  the "we have to destroy the black candidate to save the black vote" mentality.
