Race Man by Sean Wilentz "How Barack Obama played the race card and blamed Hillary Clinton" http://tinyurl.com/2ve8jt documents the slimy politics or race in Obama's campaign. IMO Ferraro was correct. A white guy, even if he had been as charismatic as Obama, with a resume as weak as Obama's would not have been taken very seriously in the primary. The Obots, always alert to find racist code in anything critical of Obama, gave her a lot of heat for simply stating the obvious. They smeared her relentlessly and attempted to censor her, but she stood her ground and wouldn't shut up about it. I admired her moxie. Soon afterward, she became a "democratic contributor" on FOX. In the end, loyal Democrat that she is, she supported Obama.
