- Akhmatova, on 06/06/2008, -1/+8Al Hunt, a reporter for Bloomberg said on Charlie Rose the other night, that in private, Bill Clinton was saying unrepeatable things about Obama. He also strongly advised Obama not to have Hillary as his VP.
- neognostic, on 06/06/2008, -1/+7I dugg this, not to point out the issue noted in the article, but to point out, that there are a lot of raw nerves out there on both sides of the Democratic Primary. However, we must keep our eyes on the prize and defeat McSame in November. We absolutely must not continue the carnage of the last 8 years on our country by the current administration.
- reallyandrea, on 06/06/2008, -0/+5I'm thinking many people who use the phrase "playing the race card" don't understand what it means.
This article is about the US Rep from New Jersey, Rob Andrews. Rob Andrews, who is white, says a higher-up in the Clinton campaign called him and said things about dividing Jews and blacks that Representative Andrews finds offensive.
Representative Andrews is white. He is offended. This story has nothing to do with playing a "race card". It has to do with people making racist statements. That's not playing, and it's not a game. - sneakeykop, on 06/06/2008, -1/+5Not shocked at all...!
- reallyandrea, on 06/06/2008, -0/+4How do you unify with people who want to divide us?
- paperpanda, on 06/07/2008, -0/+3I wish a story like this would get more attention. It's absolutely disgusting that something like this was even injected into the primary. We all knew it was going on but at least someone had the balls to finally voice it in the mainstream media. I'm tired of this kind of politics I want us as people to move on. I don't have to be a Jewish American or a African-American to know that this kind of "campaigning" is complete trash.
- bluevillage, on 06/07/2008, -0/+3With Obama as the new party leader, he'll send a loud and clear message to all operatives that the slice-and-dice approach "just won't do." Even as they have to take it into account in targeting voters.
- bluevillage, on 06/07/2008, -0/+2I saw that, too. And other reporters have ventured to say on television that "Bill hates Barack." I guess the first test of Obama's ability to bridge gaps will be with Bill.
- shinybeast, on 06/06/2008, -1/+2Neo, I agree. The only reason I submitted this is that Hillary needs to be reminded how unifying her speech needs to be tomorrow. If she doesn't attempt to reel her supporters in and get them unified behind Obama, the Dems are in big trouble in November. She has to fully understand that her reputation and her husband's legacy are on the line. Andrews isn't the only superdel who spoke out this week, either. Clyburn did, too:
