I now loathe the Clintons as well. But don't take Bill's mastermind credentials away from him. I did mention in my post that the media also took the race ball and ran with it, but I can see what you mean as far as the Clintons using it. He was all, "Well, Hillary will probably lose in SC because all the blacks will vote for Obama", trying to make him a "black" candidate (whatever that is). And then after the election, once again he tried to marginalize Obama again by making a reference to Jesse Jackson's presidential bid in 1984 and 1988. He said, "Jesse Jackson won the state in 1984 and 1988 because he ran a good campaign in SC, and I think Obama has run a good campaign here." WTF? he could have compared Obama to himself in 1992, but he didn't. He did that hoping to stick it to Obama with whites in the states voting on Super Tuesday because he knew he had to do something to stop the momentum. So he took a page from the Republican playbook. yuck. Obviously, the man is slipping because everyone with half a brain realized what he was trying to do. But I think the main point I wanted to express is that Obama has been trying to run without being a candidate who is tied to a specific race.
