What a stretch! I mean, you're giving too much credit to the Clintons painting everything to be so planned and so well-prepared. The fact is, Obama was the one who played the race card to the hilt.
How is drug use a racial issue? It is a judgment issue and is a legitimate question to ask of a candidate who regales the soundness of his judgment.
How is mentioning MLK along with LBJ a divisive strategy? It is a legitimate point to make of a candidate who makes light of actual competence and a record of accomplishment having none to show himself. It is a legitimate point to make of a candidate who wishes to wear the mantle of MLK without working for it.
How is the comment "roll of the dice" a racial issue? It is not. It is an acknowledgment of the reality that Obama has not been vetted and that the media has not done its job in challenging the Obama camp's pronouncements.
How is the "fairy tale" comment racial? It is a legitimate point to make of a candidate who differentiates his candidacy from the rest on a speech but have subsequently failed to put words into action and actually waivered time and again on the points of the speech to account for the current political winds.
Barack doesn't have the white vote and the Hispanic vote primarily because the Clintons worked their bones to gain their trust and Barack didn't. Clintons used to have the African-American, more so than Barack - and that was because of hard work. But Barack along with his MSM enablers, chipped away this lead through race-baiting, painting every criticism leveled against them by the Clintons as racial.
Barack does not have the vote of the Hispanics because he doesn't deserve it and if the African Americans were to be more objective about it - neither does Barack deserve their votes.

First of all, Barak said "you're likable enough Hilary" not you're popular enough. Get it straight. Second of all, since when does a responsible journalist use ghetto as a adjective to describe someone who African-Americans have an affinity toward, or someone who has used drugs in his past. What audacity you have to make these kinds of statements about a man who has transcended color, socio-economic status, age, and gender lines to emerge as a viable, plausible candidate for the Democratic Party. The only reason Obama would not get the nomination is because of racist, ignorant people who have a voice, like yourself. To suggest that because a certain race rallys around a candidate of the same race would cause that candidate to loose his identity amoung other races is proposperous. Barak is not Jesse Jackson, Barak is not MLK JR., Barak is a man with a plan. A leader that speaks of hope, and change, and committment, recognizing that it won't be easy. Bill Clinton, once thought of as the first black President will definitely loose that title in the black community if he continues down this path. And, although Hispanic and White voters are usually the swing vote, you can't compare the elections of the past to this year's election. There is a woman, and a black man running in this race. Its uncomparable. This race has succeeded in bringing out more voters than ever before. Non-traditional voters - young people in general, blacks, poor people, etc. Although Hispanics are the largest minority, I believe Barak still has time to gain their votes as well. People have heard enough of your small mindedness Pat, you don't give people the credit they deserve as independent thinkers, and as in the past, I believe voters will surprise you.
