Some in her campaign feel he dampened her appeal as a "strong female leader:"
Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton’s campaign team, seeking to readjust after her lopsided defeat in South Carolina and amid a sense among many Democrats that Mr. Clinton had injected himself clumsily into the race, will try to shift the former president back into the sunnier, supportive-spouse role that he played before Mrs. Clinton’s loss in the Iowa caucuses, Clinton advisers said. But Democrats said it was not clear whether the effects of Mr. Clinton’s high profile could be brushed away by having him modulate his campaign style. They said Mr. Clinton had upset some of the central themes of Mrs. Clinton’s campaign, including her appeal to women and her assertions that her time in the White House during the 1990s amounted to vital experience rather than a link to a presidency defined as much by scandal and partisan divisions as by its successes on fronts like the economy.
Yeah, good luck with that. I have my serious doubts about the Clintons' ability to tone it down when credibly threatened. And, didn't the attacks last week do what they wanted them to do-- get Obama off-message and allude to his race repeatedly? In other news: Why, John Edwards, why?

If any American thinks that Bill is going to sit around the white house and not contribute to managing the country should have their head examined. I feel after this election is over the term limits law should be modified to include spouses. This is the re-re-re-election of Bill Clinton and I think its time for the Clinton's to go home. This is the 21st century and a trip back to nineties is not what this country needs. |

A face in the Dark
Alight in darkness a face I can see.
He offers up hope for you and for me.
Proclaiming tis time we plant a seed.
In a garden devoid of bias and greed.
Together we join with one common soul.
Unite all as one to reach for a goal.
A man he is made of flesh and bone.
Speaking words to be etched in stone.
Reminding us all that we can believe.
Leaders that build, not just deceive.
Inspiring youth a new world to build.
Devoid of limits the past instilled.
A ray of hope from mountain and range.
Promising hope and a future of change.
Leading all on a path paved with hope.
For a country that can unite and cope.
Burden of power will prove his worth.
Words to be tested by deeds on earth.
Given the roots of greed all in power.
His seed we must guard hour by hour.
Obama speaks out to leave us his mark.
Wise and inspired, a face in the dark.

I'm undecided about who & which party I’m voting for, but found this great article called "Black Voters and a Twist of Bias" on the BlogZine SAVAGE POLITICS.

Here is an excerpt: “Last Saturday’s South Carolina Democratic Primary produced the widely expected result of a Barack Obama victory. From the beginning of the week, it was the ethnic composition of the State in question which was amply discussed by both the Media and it’s multiple pundits. It was here and through other sources that we discovered that 55% percent of Democratic voters in South Carolina were African American. An interesting number when you consider the “coincidence” that Obama actually won the election by exactly the same margin: 55%. Of course, many in Clinton’s campaign have used this demographic reality to spin their defeat, vociferating that they had always expected to loose from the start. It should be noted that it has been this exact attitude which they have ridiculed Obama’s camp for, insinuating that they had proved to be “sore losers” by not admitting their own failures in stating their case to the American People. As we all know, in modern politics, no campaign is free of idiotic childishness, sadly resurfacing the reality that our current political existence is dominated by whining imbeciles of the lowest ilk. Nevertheless, the Clinton Campaign’s affirmation (victory based on a unified ethnic constituency) is valid, especially when we consider the data.
The Primary’s exit polling, presented by all major networks, were utilized by analysts to determine how was Obama’s, Edwards’, and Clinton’s support spread throughout different social markers. Their results indicated that 80% of the Black vote, and only 20%..." rest of the article at http://savagepolitics.com/?p=59
