Rendell: Obama's worthy but can't win PA because he's black. Clinton: Obama in SC is the same as Jackson in S.C.: they're black. Much more "obvious" than the finally fading relevance of race is the irrepressable need of the elder statemen of the Clinton campaign to talk about it. It seems emblemetic of their generation of politicians and more than a little anachronistic, and in that way, pathetic.
