53. I don't think America is blind to color....
And I don't see a problem with that statement....

"Hey Cleatus, a black family just gawt up on dat inawgrel platfurm. What da hell is goin on?"

She is simply saying that people will take notice of a change in the racial bias we normally see in presidential politics. No other white person is going to make that statement. No other candidate is going to stand out as a woman more than Clinton would either (well I did see Giuliani in a dress but I doubt he will be repeating that on stage). An implication that that sort of shift as being a good thing, or even coming right out and saying it, isn't disagrable to me. An overwhelming factor in my vote, no.... Incremental though.
