Disturbing: 39% of Clinton supporters agree with Ferraro + Unrelated Bonus Crap

Rasmussen's latest polling update in Pennsylvania finds something quite disturbing. I'll let whats under the fold speak for itself:

Comments by former Democratic Vice Presidential nominee Geraldine Ferraro have caused a stir nationally and 66% of Likely Democratic Primary Voters have been following the story at least somewhat closely. Ferraro recently told a newspaper that "if Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position." Clinton voters are fairly evenly divided on Ferraro’s comment—39% agree and 47% disagree. Obama voters overwhelmingly reject Ferraro’s premise—93% disagree with her statement while only 4% agree.
Sixty-two percent (62%) of Black voters believe Ferraro’s comments were racist. Just 23% of White voters agree.
Ferraro also said that Clinton was treated unfairly by a "sexist media." Fifty-seven percent (57%) of Clinton supporters agree with that statement while 26% disagree. Obama voters disagree by an 85% to 9% margin.

So the question to me is:
Is this a matter of partisan loyalty to a candidate - being in love so hard that they will drum up any apologetic excuse whatsoever? Or is this something more disturbing: That nearly half of Clinton's supporters are racist? I certainly hope not.
