With every Primary and Caucus to date, the pundits immediately act like the results from a single state have set the direction and momentum for the rest of the nation. The most recent event was South Carolina and South Carolina is not like that many other states demographically. It's folly to imply that the South Carolina race has much predictive value.
Still, being a witness to the race was disturbing even for us folks up here in New York.
The behavior of the Clintons and their surrogates was perceived as a betrayal of a constituency they have not been to subtle with regard to claiming as their own.
If the Clintons could play the race card against an actual black candidate for president, what other political betrayals are they capable of?
If character is destiny, then perhaps the Clintons are due for a change.
Some change that's been a long time coming.
