Call me cynical but this misses the point. I suspect the Clinton campaign has looked at the remaining contests, looked at the percentage African-American vote in them (low for the most part), and has decided that going racially divisive favors her chances of picking up delegates.

Of course it is a terribly short-sighted, put Hillary's interests ahead of the interests of the Democratic party decision, but I think her campaign figures that pushing this line of argument will result in substantially lower Caucasian support for Obama--especially among blue-collar, lower-income white voters.

As to how it all plays out, we will see but I am sick to my stomach just watching it all happen.
