...She’s one of the leading scholars on the multiracial movement in the country,” said sociology professor Mary C. Waters, who advised the Census Bureau on multiracial demography for its 1990 and 2000 surveys. Williams’s first book, “Mark One or More: Civil Rights in Multiracial America,” published in 2006, examines one of the key decisions that Waters advised—when the 2000 Census allowed respondents to identify as multiple races for the first time.

That became abundantly clear in a strategy session last year, according to two people who were there. As aides looked over the campaign calendar, chief strategist Mark Penn confidently predicted that an early win in California would put her over the top because she would pick up all the state's 370 delegates.
