Sen. Hillary Clinton said the Rev. Al Sharpton is "pretty smart, for a black guy," but stopped short of endorsing his presidential bid.
The compliment came after the junior senator from New York was quoted by Newsday.com as saying that affirmative action foes focus only on Martin Luther King's urging that people be judged by their character.

"Well, of course," she said. "But what is character? The sum total of who you are. The color of your skin and how you deal with it is part of your character."

Sen. Clinton said the Rev. Sharpton has dealt with his blackness quite well, and urged the Electoral College to grant him an additional 20 votes based on the University of Michigan admissions principal that guarantees diversity regardless of merit.
