It seems to me that the Clintons' so callded "legacy" has been incrementally catching up with them for some time now. I think they are tired, but so addicted to politics that they don't know they are tired. They run and fight because that is all they know how to do. It's the pursuit of power for its own sake.
Because you have two candidates who are essentially straight-line Democrats, the primary campaign is not about politics or political positions. It's about personalities, and the joint Clinton personality can't match the fluent elegance and likability of the Obama personality. His racial mix also adds something new and exciting that is stirring the great majority of the black electorate and those among the white electorate who view things mostly through the prism of race.
As a Republican, I'll confess to schadenfreude at watching the Clintons being slowly strangled to death by their own party. It doesn't get any better than this.
