Neal,

I'm not certain just what you are agreeing with. While I am capable of arguing both sides of the Clintons' motivation and intentions, I generally come down with the argument which says they are not even close to being racist, that they know precisely what they are doing with the race based comments including the more negative consequences, and that it's all done for some personal end that I cannot discern. But it's not healthy for the party or for the Obama campaign.

My wife and I have a history with the Clinton campaign, including a friend who was very instrumental in the 92 campaign and then fired in 94. He still has ties with many folk close to the Clintons and has a flourishing political polling company with some of them. So that increases the emotional content of any family discussion about Bill and Hillary.

We voted, with enthusiasm, for Bill in 92. Thought we were finally getting past the nightmare Reagan/Bush years. But by 96 my wife refused to vote for him, voted for Nader instead. As for me, I was doing lesser evil voting. In 2000, I did lesser evil voting for Gore but she voted for Nader again. However, we had an agreement that if Jersey were in play in 2000, she would vote for Gore.

So we have some emotional stress around the Clintons.
