Which they thought they had by way of Bill Clinton's popularity among black voters.

Hillary and Obama are both bringing something totally unique to the decision that voters will have to make; the machiavellian but charmless white female or the smart but politically inexperienced black guy. I'm sorry to say this but I think the Race Thing will play a part in many voter's choice, as will the prospect of having some uppity woman as Supreme Commander and President. There's a LOT of rednecks out there who won't be comfortable with either of them.

Hillary may lack charm and charisma, but her husband does plus he's had the Top Job before and so can provide a huge amount of political experience and they are both masters at playing the game. In these troubled times I would prefer to have Billary in charge than someone with as little experience as Obama. His time will come for sure, but he needs a lot more political miles under his belt.
