Clinton: 'White people support me'
 An interview Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-IL) gave to USA TODAY Wednesday is fanning new flames of racial tension between her and Sen. Barack Obama's (D-IL) presidential campaign.
"I have a much broader base to build a winning coalition on," she said in an interview published Thursday. She 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."

"Clinton's blunt remarks about race came a day after primaries in Indiana and North Carolina dealt symbolic and mathematical blows to her White House ambitions.

"In both states, Clinton won six of 10 white voters, according to surveys of people as they left polling places
Obama spokesman Bill Burton replied: "These statements from Sen. Clinton are not true and frankly disappointing."
