<p>Appearing on the April 9 edition of Fox
News&#39; <i>Hannity &amp; Colmes</i>,
syndicated columnist Dick Morris, referring to Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL), said:
"You have to ask yourself, the first black man is running for president
and nobody&#39;s afraid of him, because everybody&#39;s afraid of
Hillary." Host Sean Hannity replied, "Well, that&#39;s pretty
interesting." Morris gathered this conclusion from a new Fox News/Opinion
Dynamics <a href="http://mediamatters.org/rd?src=clip200704100019&http://www.foxnews.com/projects/pdf/032907_foxnewspoll.pdf">poll</a> in which 26
percent of respondents reported that they would be "scared" if Sen.
Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY) were to "become the next president,"
while 11 percent said the same of Obama. </p>

<p>From the April 9 edition of Fox
News&#39; <i>Hannity &amp; Colmes</i>:</p><blockquote>

<p>COLMES:
Well, a new Fox poll shows that most Americans think the next person to move
into the White House will, in fact, be a Democrat. But there&#39;s one Democrat in
particular that frightens the American people more than the others. Is there?
Well, that person: Hillary Clinton. Twenty-six percent of the people polled are
scared of her becoming president. What do these numbers really mean for her
candidacy? Joining us now, former Clinton
adviser Dick Morris. I have a feeling he was polled on this. </p>

<p>[...]</p>

<p>MORRIS:
But you know, back to your question of scared. <b>You have to ask yourself, the first black man is running for president
and nobody&#39;s afraid of him, because everybody&#39;s afraid of Hillary.</b>
</p>

<p>

HANNITY:
Well, that&#39;s pretty interesting.</p></blockquote><table width="100%" style="background: #e8e8e8;
