and presume that some massive portion of the HRC camp supports her
because she's white and Obama is black. But it's also false to
pretend that there isn't a small but significant number of people
who think that way.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://letters.salon.com/news/feature/2008/06/03/roundtable/permalink/085109502540446a5d655ae10d443996.html"><P>I didn't want to admit that. I had previously defended rural
