Bill is dropping very fast in my estimation. It's obvious that his own remarks caused the SC flap, but he gets the quote into a press cycle that it couldn't have been his own fault.

BS.

`The Race Card'

Clinton yesterday accused the Obama campaign of playing ``the race card on me' after the South Carolina primary, a charge that drew a rebuke from Obama. Clinton told a Philadelphia radio station his comments were ``twisted' after he likened Obama's primary victory to Jackson's.

Clinton was asked if he regretted that comparison, after a Pennsylvania official said she felt he was marginalizing Obama as ``the black candidate.'

``No, I think that they played the race card on me,' he said. ``We now know from memos from the campaign and everything that they planned to do it all along.'

Obama scoffed at Clinton's remarks.

``Hold on a second, so former President Clinton dismissed my victory in South Carolina as being similar to Jesse Jackson and he's suggesting that somehow I had something to do with it?' he said to reporters today at a Pittsburgh diner. ``Ok, well you better ask him what he meant by that.' He denied there was any plan to use the comments for political purposes.
