Hillary's inartful allusions to race are merely the prelude to what is likely to turn out to be The Great Race About Race.
It all turns on how America sees this race and which campaign gets America asking which question:
Obama's campaign: Is America ready to be governed by a President who happens to be "black"?
A: Yes.
McCain's campaign: Is America ready to be governed by a "black" who happens to be President?
A: [if you're a Progressive, yes; if you're a "Regressive", no].
Or, better yet: Just how ugly is America, in 2008?

Rush is advising McCain to hit Obama hard on his 20 year long radical association with Rev Wright and Michelle's radical thesis. Hannity is starting to immunize himself, asserting the debate is over race but is not racism.

interview Barack gave to Blitzer on CNN. Barack responded forcefully to John McCain trying to link him to Hamas. McCain started this issue by stating that Hamas wants Barack to win. Now he's whinning because Barack is defending himself and calling him out.
Barack did not hold back in his response. Everyone is latching onto the 'losing his bearings' comement. The McCain campaign whinned that it is was a dog whistle about McCain's age. They even have an ad now for Mother's Day with McCain and his mother. One would think that THEY are trying to neutralize the age issue that they know is the elephant in the room.
That's all it took for McCain to start whinning. He ain't seen nothing yet. Barack is not going to stand by and let McCain smear him. All of the issues that the media is afraid to touch will be fair game for Barack. He can show the contrast between him and McCain without going negative.
McCain says he will run a respectable campaign. But at the same time he has no problem trying to smear Barack. Even his wife said he was going to run a clean campaign. I guess they forgot to tell her that trying to smear Barack with the Hamas non-sense is not considered respectful.

Where I come from (Upstate NY), this DOES mean what the McCain Team THINKS it means. AND HE IS!
It is also code for one who has Alzheimer's Disease.
Still, I think that this will fly under the radar in most of America.

I grew up in upstate NY.

Basically the 11-county area around Albany. I was born there, but I live in Saratoga (which is starting to turn purple from scarlet red!).
Re "Chicago Style Politics", I was wondering when someone was going to post that. Yes, that is EXACTLY what is coming.
The general is going to be something the historians will be writing about for centuries to come. Not merely a clash of styles, but of mentalities, generations, and - dare I say it - races.
McCain will be all blather and rage and Obama will be very, very slick and ever so cool.
It's wonderful to be a witness to history! After all, we've all waited 400 fucking years for this. I'm soooooooooo thrilled to see it happening in my lifetime! The FACT that Obama can happen NOW in America makes me DAMNED PROUD to be an American.
Still mulling over whether to have my entire car covered in Obama bumper stickers. My wife realizes it's a battle she can't win. She just rolls her eyes now.

Close to saying he's "lost his marbles," but not quite there.
I think we're finally about to witness Chicago Style politics.

I laughed out loud when I heard it and screamed "WAY TO GO OBAMA!"

Once the nomination is final, I expect to see Obama up 55% - 45% over McCane.

Obama comes from Chicago style politics.
And Hillary is a girl, it will be a whole nother story with McNut.

age when in fact, Obama was just calling McCain out on being negative and making that ridiculous Hamas comment.

about the "lost his bearings" commet from Obama.
Not sure what he expected when he goes out there and says Hamas endorsed Obama as thoguh that would be an endorsment that Obama would be happy with.
Obama bitch slapped him and good.
