Well, the other reason why Obama will be easier to run against for the Repubs is the now volumes of You Tube videos of Obama saying his race doesn't matter (ie, he isn't as black as Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton), while his surrogates keep playing the race card against the Clinton campaign.

Which they have done brilliantly and to great effect too.

But the Obama camp is clearly reeling this week from attacks coming from many corners, not just the Clinton camp.
