There's been some significant commentary about Sen. Clinton's interview with USA Today, in which she responds to the reporter's question about how she can win the nomination:
". . .Senator Obama's support among working, hard-working Americans, white Americans, is weakening again and . . . whites in both states who had not completed college were supporting me."
Questions are being raised about what Senator Clinton's goal is, since she can't close the gap in elected delegates, and is continuing an aggressive, mostly negative campaign. The New York Times weighs in here. Her repeated reference to "white Americans" is striking some as an appeal to racial division. Some are suggesting that Clinton would prefer one term of Sen. McSame over two terms of Sen. Obama, notwithstanding her pledge to campaign for the Democratic nominee. This would give her another bite at the apple in 2012 if Obama is defeated in 2008.
