She denies it, but in the end, Hillary makes her presidential campaign all about race.
"I have a much broader base to build a winning coalition on," she said in an interview with USA TODAY. As evidence, Clinton cited an Associated Press article "that found how Sen. Obama's support among working, hard-working Americans, white Americans, is weakening again, and how whites in both states who had not completed college were supporting me."
You can hear Hillary's blatant race baiting in the following YouTube clip:
Hillary tried to spin away the fact that her comments were "racially divisive:"
"These are the people you have to win if you're a Democrat in sufficient numbers to actually win the election. Everybody knows that."
Hillary's "White Americans" comment came the day after her efforts in the Indiana and North Carolina primaries failed to achieve anything like the momentum, votes or money she needed take the Democrats' nomination away from Obama. Hillary suffered a 14% thumpin' in North Carolina, squeaked out a 2% nail biting "victory" in Indiana and revealed she had to loan her failing campaign another $6.4 million in April.
