His remark that the next Dem presidential nominee ‘had better be a white male’ really bothers me.

The Democratic nominee better be popular and able to to motivate the Democrat’s core constituencies, especially African-Americans to turn out. The fact that Obama got a clear majority of the votes in both of his runs shows that the nominee does not have to be white. And Clinton nearly won despite being very unpopular, so the nominee doesn’t have to be male.
