For general discussion and debate. Possible talking point: Clinton continues to throw the race card (paragraph breaks removed):

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.

What do you think about these statements? Could a Republican get away with this? Wouldn't any GOP candidate saying such a thing get so trashed by the media that he or should would have to drop out of the race? Assuming Obama gets the nomination, will McCain be allowed to make similar comments?
