Hillary speaks:

"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."

Can you imagine if a Republican said that? But I guess we've all come to accept the ugly race identity politics of the Democratic primary battle.
