Bill Clinton has received criticism over his recent comments about Barack Obama's victory in the South Carolina primary. His comments have elevated the already rising racial tension between the Democratic nominees and is now being scrutinized for starting to hurt rather than help his wife's campaign. The Today Show's Matt Lauer also spoke to Time Magazine's Joe Klein about this recent issue. However, an article by CNN also states that Clinton has had a "80 percent approval rate among Democrats", and earlier reports of Hillary's campaign thought Clinton to be a significant asset for her.
Do you think he has overstepped the boundaries in his wife's campaign? Should he step back to the sidelines, or be an active part of it? Another issue that his outspokenness raises is the potential harm it could do to the future Democratic nominee for president. Are Democrats digging themselves into a bigger hole by their attacks on one another?
