The top official of the Democratic Party on Sunday defended Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Nevada Democrat, for his private remarks during the 2008 campaign describing then-Sen. Barack Obama as "light-skinned" and "with no Negro dialect."
"I think if you look at the reports, as I have, it was all in the context of saying positive things about Senator Obama," Democratic National Committee Chairman Tim Kaine said. "It definitely was in the context of recognizing in Senator Obama a great candidate and future president."
