The Clinton team made a strategic play to talk about Senator Obama as
a vice presidential possibility. I’m not supporting his candidacy, but I
respect what he’s accomplished and this line of conversation, as clever as it is to box him in, could backfire.
For certain, Obama is taking it and running with it today.
However, like Obama did in South Carolina, Obama is using racial language to
attack Clinton in Mississippi. Obviously, to get chummy with the voters in language he thinks will work.

Y’all know the okey-doke? It’s when someone’s trying to
bamboozle you, when they’re trying to hoodwink you. They are trying
to hoodwink you. You can’t say that he’s not ready on day one,
unless he’s willing to be your vice president and then he’s ready
on day one. … .. ”
It’s turning into a
replay of South Carolina:
It was wrong when Obama did it in South Carolina, though it was blamed on Bill, and it’s just as wrong in Mississippi.
