The star turn came after Clinton got slammed for suggesting in an interview with USA Today that she's the best candidate because blue-collar whites were fleeing Obama.

"Sen. Obama's support among working, hardworking Americans, white Americans, is weakening again," she told the paper, citing as evidence a recent Associated Press story on voting trends in Indiana and North Carolina. "I have a much broader base to build a winning coalition on."

Clinton defended her words as a common-sense analysis of exit poll data.

But some of her supporters - including Rep. Charles Rangel (D-Manhattan) - slammed the comments.

"I can't believe Sen. Clinton would say anything that dumb," Rangel told The News as he headed to the House floor, where earlier he had embraced Obama.
