The most obnoxious thing Bill Clinton has said, was when he said that of course Obama won South Carolina, 'cause, you know, "even Jesse Jackson won South Carolina." Set aside the fact that Jesse Jackson was a Civil Rights hero before he became something of a caricature, the blatant racism of Bill's comment was too much for me. The reason I won't vote for HRC? Because I honestly believe they're calling Barack a horrible word in private.
Unproven racial slurs aside, the Clintons do have an annoying habit of trying to spin everything. Bill Clinton, after all, is a man that asked for the definition of "is". As in, "is" she blowing me right now? No, so its not perjury. The Clinton's have been spinning every loss and even spinning non-victory's like Florida and Michigan where every Democrat agreed not to campaign.
Matthew Yglesias, over at The Atlantic Monthly, isn't impressed:
Back in October 2007, Clinton was beating Obama in Maine by a hilarious 47 to 10 margin, but it seems he's carried the state today, once again by a large margin. My understanding, though, is that this doesn't really count because it's a small state, much as Utah doesn't count because there aren't many Democrats there, DC doesn't count because there are too many black people, Washington doesn't count because it's a caucus, Illinois doesn't count because Obama represents it in the Senate even though Hillary was born there, Hawaii won't count because Obama was born there. I'm not sure why Delaware and Connecticut don't count, but they definitely don't.
