By Keith Herbert, NewsdayOne of Hillary Rodham Clinton's most important supporters, Charles Rangel, repudiated her claims she has broader support among "white Americans," calling the comments "the dumbest thing she could ever have said."The Harlem congressman's criticism of Clinton came as rival Barack Obama Saturday took the lead among superdelegates, the group that will decide the Democratic Party's presidential nomination.Speaking to reporters before introducing Clinton at a Manhattan fundraiser Saturday, Rangel chastised the remarks as "very poorly worded."He was referring to comments Clinton made in an interview last week with USA Today in which she touted her electability. Clinton said Obama's support among "working, hard-working Americans, white Americans" was weak in comparison to her own.The comments were seized on by her critics who claim she attempted to show Obama wouldn't attract enough white voters to beat presumed GOP nominee John McCain.Rangel went on to acknowledge candidates had their respective strengths and weaknesses. "In any campaign, there are groups of people that you know that you have and groups of people that you don't," he said. "And I don't care what it is. White, black, Catholic, Protestant -- pollsters and newspaper reporters, that's all they know, and so they keep asking the same question over and over. I mean, this happens in campaigns."Nevertheless, he said "anyone with common sense or reason" would conclude Obama had already shown he could win over white voters.
