The campaign of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (N.Y.) recycled a nine-month-old endorsement from an NAACP leader earlier this week when the discussion about race in the Democratic primary reached a fever pitch and a new poll indicated that black voters were sharply breaking for Sen. Barack Obama (Ill.).The campaign announced that California NAACP President Alice Huffman endorsed the former first lady on Monday, adding that this coincided with the anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday (which was on Tuesday). However, an entry on Clinton’s campaign blog from April 27, 2007, shows that Huffman was among a slew of “leading Californians” who publicly supported the senator.The endorsement announcement was clearly aimed at showing that Clinton had significant African-American support amid intensifying criticism of her remark on former President Lyndon Johnson’s involvement in passing the Civil Rights Act. Some interpreted Clinton’s comment as diminishing the role of Dr. King in the civil rights movement.“Over the years, Hillary Clinton has earned my respect as a staunch advocate for the rights of people invisible to our nation’s government, including women, minorities, children, and seniors,” Huffman said in the release announcing her endorsement this week. “As president, I feel strongly that Hillary will create an atmosphere in this country that accepts and promotes the rights of all Americans.”Meanwhile, Monday’s Rasmussen presidential tracking poll showed a widening gap between Obama and Clinton among black voters, with the Illinois senator leading, 66-16.
