Race, Again 

We'll see what happens tomorrow, but this may indeed become a big story
(from a USA Today interview):

Hillary Rodham Clinton vowed Wednesday to continue her quest for the
Democratic nomination, arguing she would be the stronger nominee because she
appeals to a wider coalition of voters - including whites who have not
supported Barack Obama in recent contests.
"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. [Italics Mine]


The article describes the "remarks about race" as "blunt." Regardless, this
does not seem to be a "unifying" statement.
