For general discussion and debate. Possible talking point: Racial Under Current is Seen in Clinton Campaign:
These officials, including Clinton aides and prominent surrogates, have raised questions or dropped references about Obama's position on sentencing guidelines for crack vs. powder cocaine offenses; on his handgun control record; and on his admitted use of drugs as a youth. The context was always Obama's "electability." But the Illinois senator's campaign advisers said some African American leaders detect a pattern, and they believe it could erode Clinton's strong base of black support.
Is this a fair criticism of Hillary's campaign, or a stretch? Will this impact her success as a candidate, especially if media outlets like the Post focus on it?
