It is however a little convenient that he's black and *poof* she is backing him.
And no, there has never been a front-running candidate that was black before now, not to my knowledge. If I'm wrong feel free to enlighten me on who it was.
Your naivity is showing.

i think its quite normal to expect her to back him. its consistent with who she is, what she believes in and how she behaves. she is very much about black people and black issues and this is a case where she can throw her weight into the situation and quite possibly change the course of history. from her pespective, just putting him out front and making sure he enjoys a lot of popular support already achieves a lot if you look at it from the perspective of black people. it's reasonable to think that making this guy popular and accepted as a presidential candidate can certainly pave the way for future black candidates. (although, i'm not overly convinced that race/sex is as big an issue as some seem to think it is... people respond to great leaders and leadership more than anything)
i dont like her. but i deeply respect the fact that she came from nothing, makes no excuses and has become one of the most successful black people and one of the richest people on the planet ever, with more influence over people that any black person has ever had in this country.
