After hearing her comments again twice this evening, I can see how the context makes it seem like her comments were a racially charged, poor attempt at dismissing Obama's success over Hillary. The intent seemed to be highlighting Obama's race to say "he's only gotten over Hillary because he's black."
She said her comment was taken out of context and that she really meant to state that Obama supporters, particularly blacks who support him, have come out in full force. She says she was commending Obama supporters.
I don't know. I guess perception is reality and her intent is a bit questionable. Maybe she should've left it alone, regardless of who the messenger is/her race, even if she used her Vice Presidential run as an analogy.
