In Denial

New York Times columnist Bob Herbert, in the oped piece Seeds of Destruction, makes the point that the Clintons are not particularly adept at executing exit strategies. So with Obama effectively the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, Hillary Clinton could not resist playing the race card, because truth be told, that's all she has at this point: "I have a much broader base to build a winning coalition on." She cited an Associated Press article "that found how Sen. Obama's support among working, hard-working Americans, white Americans, is weakening again, and how whites in both states who had not completed college were supporting me."
