is a man of few rhetorical stumbles, but this week a few of his words
opened a racial door his campaign would prefer not to step through.
When Senator <A title="More articles about John McCain." href="http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/people/m/john_mccain/index.html?inline=nyt-per">John McCain</A>’s
camp replied by accusing him of playing the race card from the bottom
of the deck, the Obama campaign seemed at least momentarily off
balance. </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://justoneminute.typepad.com/main/2008/08/so-in-the-tank.html"><P>The instinctive urge to punch back was tempered by the
fact that race is a fire that could singe both candidates. So on Friday
the Obama campaign, a carefully controlled lot on the best of days,
reacted most cautiously as it sought to tamp down any sense that it was
at war with Mr. McCain over who was the first to inject race into the
contest. </P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/1EAFBF0F-4CF5-4FC9-95A6-E83330F73D2D/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
