I think Bob Krumm has a good point. If you’re Hillary Clinton, and you’ve spent the past week insisting that your husband didn’t mean to call Barack Obama’s campaign “a fairy tale”, that you didn’t mean to downplay Martin Luther King and overplay Lyndon Johnson in the civil rights effort, that you didn’t approve of one of your supporters suggesting Obama dealt drugs, that it’s coincidental that two staffers have been fired for spreading rumors that Obama is a Muslim, that you don’t approve of your supporter Andrew Cuomo suggesting that Obama has to do more than “shuck and jive” at press conferences…

And then tomorrow, African-American voters will go to the polls and learn:

(a) Hillary Clinton is on the ballot.
(b) Barack Obama is not on the ballot.
(c) Write-in votes are not counted.

There’s a formula for trust, goodwill, and charitable interpretations!
