I think it *would* make a difference in how America is viewed around the world. You don't think it would? Ask people in Kenya if it would make a difference in how they look at America!
I don't agree with her that there's no other candidate who could do that--electing the first woman president would make a significant sort of statement as well--but it's not playing the "race card" to simply point out that electing someone who isn't the Obligatory White Man could be seen to have important symbolic meanings!
