I don't get Bill Clinton.
First he comes out yesterday on the view, spends five minutes praising Sarah Palin and saying he understands why people would like her, then says why he thinks Obama will win anyway. Not because he's intelligent, has the right temperament, it a great communicator, espouses the right policies, but because there are more registered democrats than republicans, because there are more young people voting, and because people want change.
Then he goes on David Letterman, praises McCain, says he is a great hero, gave the most anyone can give for his country other than dying, but then said Obama will win because people want change.
He just can't bring himself to praise Obama. He can't bear to give any credit to the man who defeated his wife for the title he thought she deserved. He just can't do it.
If he really is counting on Hillary becoming the nominee in 2012, in the event of an Obama loss this year, and he expects to get any African American support when he seems unable or unwilling to enthusiastically support the first African American nominee for president, and a nominee that is one of the best and brightest nominees ever, black or white, he'd better think again.
If he blows it for Obama with this tepid support, and his indirect support for McCain/Palin, Hillary will be lucky to get 5% of the African American vote when she runs again.
