Clinton booed, McCain not

I’m at the Obama victory celebration and when Hillary came on the screen, the hall erupted in boos. When John McCain came on the screen—he is accepting the key endorsement of Charlie Crist, Florida’s immensely popular governor—there was no reaction. Tonight’s vote and Obama’s huge margin among black voters is a rejection of the Clintons and many here are incredibly angry with the Clintons about their tactics since Iowa and feel that they have played the race card. Indeed, Bill Clinton engaged in some crude racial spin earlier trying to dismiss Obama’s victory by pointing to the fact that Jesse Jackson, who described himself as the president of black America, won South Carolina in both 1984 and ’88.
