The Big Picture about Last night

This is my theory and I stand by it.

Several weeks ago, Hillary's campaign made the obvious choice of injecting race in to this campaign.

Yesterday morning, Senator Obama made a conscious decision to inject gender into this race. By tying Hillary so tightly to Bill he is attempting to show the electorate that she is not able to stand on her own. THEY are running for a third term. She is not "man" enough (sorry, no other analogy can fit here) to win this fair and square. He is extremely subtly trying to show that she is not a self made woman. Unfortunately for him, it will probably be too subtle for the electorate. Right now it seems like he is just screaming sour grapes. But if you watch the coverage of Bill Clinton today, he has clearly placed his wagging fingers in his pocket and is in smily mode. Obama is attempting to show the voters that if she can't control her own house, then he will.

The pundits are missing the big picture.
Race, meet gender
