**On the roster: Booker and Harris on a collision course - Blackface or Klan hood? The New Jersey senator’s announcement today, the first day of Black History Month, identified him in a tradition of black Democratic presidential candidates. As Barack Obama found, though, black voters learned to be even more skeptical of African American candidates than many white voters. Harris, whose own biography leans more toward Obama’s own second and third culture experience, is reaching out to black voters from a less explicitly ethnic starting place. Just as New England white liberals Sanders and Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts will battle brutally for the same votes, especially in New Hampshire, Harris and Booker are now set on a collision course in South Carolina.
