Bill and Hillary's Hard Obama Sell Job

Hillary and Bill Clinton were as good as their word and did everything they could to prod the legion of Hillary's still very diehard backers to get behind Obama. But it will take more than carefully scripted and orchestrated TV spots from Clinton blasting McCain and imploring America to get behind Obama to win this recalcitrant crop of Democrats over.

The bitter truth is that many did not vote for her because they liked her and her policies. They simply didn't like Obama. She was the only other Democrat on the ticket in the primary contests. And the reasons they don't like him -- racial fear, distrust, uncertainty, his inexperience, patriotism questions, and a too liberal voting record - won't magically vanish just because the Clintons tell them they should.
