YUVAL LEVIN: “One of the most interesting elements of the Clinton implosion in the past week has been the way Bill Clinton has chosen anger and resentment as his mode of persuasion. . . . I just wonder: Does he actually think this could be effective in getting voters to support Hillary?”

Meanwhile, Bill Bradley pointed out evidence of something I predicted — Clinton can’t go negative against Obama without losing key black supporters:

The Clinton campaign is searching for the right tool with which to take down the Illinois senator. One tool they won’t be using is a reference to his self-acknowleged teenage drug use, which he disclosed in his best-selling autobiography.

NWN has learned that when that was brought up last month by campaign co-chairman Billy Shaheen, the Clintons faced an internal revolt from many of their prominent black supporters.

“You are not going to make the first black man who can be president out to be a drug dealer,” one told the Clintons.

I told you so. Even if some people weren’t bright enough to get the point, at least until Tom Maguire patiently explained it.
