Desperate Clinton plays the race card -- big time.

In a desperate move to find some momentum, Hillary Clinton played up racial divisions in comments that were incredibly offensive. CNN reports:

Hillary Clinton suggested Wednesday that "White Americans" are increasingly turning away from Barack Obama’s candidacy.

"I have a much broader base to build a winning coalition on," Clinton said in an interview with USA TODAY.

Wait, it gets worse.

Clinton cited an Associated Press poll "that found how Senator 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."

Is Hillary implying that only whites are hard working Americans? Maybe she's not speaking that clearly, but that's how I read that quote. She sounds like Jesse Helms, for crying out loud. Not only will this not help her campaign, but it may alienate a large portion of the democratic base.

Now that this campaign has hit a new low, Clinton should salvage what respect she has left and bow out of the race.
