Rejecting a personal entreaty from President Bill Clinton, Sen. Edward M.
Yet another example of Hillary's supporters using the race angle against Obama...but this time, it's a black guy doing her dirty work. From Dick Morris:

The Clintons are about to go nuclear on Obama. Don't believe me? Is Bubba's word good enough. Check out the following from the Chicago Tribune: read more »
