So what do you all think about what Harry Reid said during the 2008 election? And what about Clinton’s horrible offhand sneer? The private remarks have been revealed in a new tell all book, “Game Change,” by journalists Mark Halperin and John Heilemann?
Reid said Barack Obama could win the election because he was “light-skinned” and had “no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one.”
A few Dems think the revelation will provide the final shove to push Reid over the cliff in this year’s election. Most have circled the wagons in an attempt to minimize the damage.
Clinton’s remarks came a day after Obama won the Iowa caucus. He had called Senator Ted Kennedy to try to get an endorsement for Hillary but his remarks about Obama offended Kennedy and the bid was rejected resoundingly. Clinton’s fatal remark:
” A few years ago, this guy would have been getting us coffee.”
Mmmm, Mmmmm, Mmmmm….
