Surprise — more race-baiting from the Clinton campaign!
This time, it’s from the candidate herself.
In attempts to make her case for the nomination (though her chances are currently slim), she wants to remind us that she is the candidate of white voters.
“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.”
“There’s a pattern emerging here,” she said.
Now, how is it that you have a much broader coalition when Obama has some of those same working-class white voters, some of those white women voters you tout, a solid majority of the black vote, a solid majority of the youth vote and more independent voters.
That, to me, is quite a broad base.
However, what Clinton is really doing is trying to remind white voters that Obama is the “black candidate” and insinuate that white America may not vote for a black guy.
Obviously, desperation is kicking in because, the kitchen sink strategy just went into overdrive.
