Race in the campaign - who started it? Fri, 01 Aug 2008 10:38:59 -0700

After bubbling under the surface since the primary campaign, race has popped to the surface - and both the Barack Obama and John McCain camps are pointing their finger at the other as the culprit.

McCain has accused Obama of playing politics with race for predicting that the likely Republican nominee and others in the GOP would try to scare voters by saying the Democrat "doesn't look like all those other presidents on the dollar bills." Obama's spokesmen denied he was referring to being black, although all the presidents on U.S. currency are white.
Obama senior strategist David Axelrod said Friday that race became an issue only when the McCain campaign cast a racial slant on Obama's remarks, which were made at a campaign swing Wednesday in rural Missouri.
