"I have a much broader base to build a winning coalition on...(AP Poll) found how Senator Obama's support among working, hard working white Americans is weakening again, and how whites in both states (Indiana/North Carolina)who have not completed college were supporting me. A pattern is emerging here."--Hillary Clinton to USA Today.

She understood what she was saying she made sure to emphasize "white" not once but twice.

That is a statement worthy of Strom Thurmond in 1948 or George Wallace in 1968. I don't see Senator Obama countering by saying that she is showing near zero support among hard working black Americans (more than 90% for Obama in IN and NC) because he won't play racial politics.

What is with this woman? He's not a Muslim "as far as I know". She's prepared to be commander-in-chief and so is McCain "but you'll have to ask Senator Obama." and repeated attempts to bring race into this campaign.

And now there on TV speculating that Hillary thinks if she can't be the nominee she has earned the right to be VP? After this kind of divisive politics.

If this doesn't cause a huge outcry among super delegates I don't know what will. They need to end this NOW.
