If it weren’t so funny seeing the Clintons floundering for an avenue of attack against Obama, it would be pitiful.  Smears by sycophants with one degree of separation fooled no one (since the press wasn’t willing to look the other way this time around).  Then the full frontal assault by Big Bad Bill misfired BBBBadly.  What to do?  Playing nicey-nicey is producing, at best, a draw and, at worst, a probable loss.  Now they’re thrashing about, attacking Bush (who isn’t on the ballot), in the hopes of swaying support currently creeping in Obama’s direction.  That won’t get it.  My guess is the gruesome twosome will soon revert to form.  It’s all they really know.  They’ll probably start launching salvos from various quarters with at least three degrees of separation (which will fool no one) though my prediction is that Bill and Hill will soon be treating the gentleman from Illinois like a King…no, not Martin Luther King…more like Rodney King.  Then they’ll pull the super delegate switcheroo or, abracadabra, Florida and Michigan delegates out of a hat and, after the carnage, throw Obama and his supporters a bone pleading, “Can’t we all just get along?” 

I wonder: Will his support in the black community refuse to be treated like Democrat property and instead turn towards McCain and the Republicans (who, after all, appointed the first blacks to the Supreme Court, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Secretary of Defense, National Security Advisor and Secretary of State)?  Or, will they dutifully take their place back on the DNC porch humming, “Swing Low Sweet Chariot?”  If McCain is smart, he’d select someone like Steele, Rice or Powell for VP and make that exclusion from the big house a very sore subject for Team Clinton.  Of course, he should wait till the dynastic duo puts Richardson on the ticket (so as to offset McCain’s standing with the Latinos).  Seeing the Republicans play their own race card will be sweet, particularly should it come, like this, from up the sleeve.
