"There are things that I wish I'd urged her to do. Things I wish I'd said. Things I wish I hadn't said," said Clinton. His comments about Barack Obama's South Carolina primary victory, indicating a black man was more likely to win the state, sparked a storm of controversy, but Clinton insisted: "I never made a racist comment, and I didn't attack him personally."
