Obama backer accuses Bill Clinton of suppressing vote
A prominent supporter of Sen. Barack Obama on Wednesday compared Bill Clinton's appeals for his wife, Hillary in South Carolina to the tactics used by a former Republican strategist that are infamous within Democratic circles. When asked about the comparison, Clinton disapproved by saying it was a distraction from what voters really cared about. In an interview with CNN, Dick Harpootlian and an Obama supporet said some of Clinton's remarks on the campaign trail were appeals based on race and gender, meant to "suppress the vote, demoralize voters and distort the record." Later a reporter from CNN asked Clinton about Harpootlian's comments, Clinton did not argree with the charge and staeted out, saying: "You live for this. This hurts the people of South Carolina." Hillary is now focusing her attention on states with contests next month on "Super Tuesday," leaving the campaigning for this week's South Carolina primary to her husband.
Opinion
Well only God knows if Clinton is saying the truth about this. However, if Clinton or Obama keep being racists towards the voting then they are going to have a difficult time winning the campaign. If one of them really wants to win the campaign then they better stop being racist. I think that both of these candidates are focusing too much in trying to make the other look bad that they have taken their attention away from trying to convince people to vote for them.
