he i snot closing the deal (2.00 / 4)

he is losing every state where there is not a huge AA population.  He even lost a few points in that demographic in IN.  
what is his problem and when will the party save us from this 50 state disaster?
For Obama it now becomes: Faith, hope and CHANGE! And the greatest of these is Change!

There sure are a ton of blacks in Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, Kansas, North Dakota, Idaho, etc.

Want to make up some more facts?

Re: he i snot closing the deal (none / 0)

Were not most of these wins in states like IA, MN, NE, KS, ND, and ID by Obama due to the rigged caucus process?, which TX proved to everyone!  I do not think any of these states like IA, MN, NE, KS, ND, and ID have huge AA populations like they do in SC, NC, GA, MS, AL, LA.  Most of these deep southern states have not been carried by a Democrat since the Civil Rights Act of 1964 passed.  They all went Republican and will do so again in November.  I do not see Obama winning any of the states in the South that I listed here!

This election should have been a slamdunk for the Dems in 2008, but now race and gender has raised its ugly head in our party giving McCain a sure win in November.  It makes one want to weep.

He won more primaries than her (none / 0)

and we're going to win NC this year.  NC is lead by the nose by VA and VA is goimg Dem this year if only to elect their oh-so popular former governor Mark Warner.

Re: He won more primaries than her (none / 0)

I don't know where you get your information.  North Carolina is not Virginia.  The heavy AA vote can win the primary for you but the general is a totally different game.  Obama will not win N.C.  If he's the nominee, McCain will take N.C.  I made calls here for three weeks.  And I heard it over and over and over - from Democrats - they'll vote for McCain if Obama's the nominee.

By the fact that NC has always throughout its history voted as VA, from presidential elections to the constitutional amendments.  Check out a political history of NC.

Don't forget my state, WI.  Everyone always forgets us and we are actually one of the larger states.  We are mostly white and Obama won almost 60% of the vote here.

Don't Forget Utah (2.00 / 0)

There's about as many blacks in Utah as there are Clinton supporters there--almost none.

a separate tally for Black votes? (2.00 / 4)

Should we not be counting Black Democrats votes?

Maybe the Democratic Party should have a "White" pre-primary. Once the Dem Party has established the stronger candidate with "White" voters then Blacks could either ratify the choice or skip the primary.

Would that kind of voting system be an improvement in your mind?

Re: he i snot closing the deal (1.66 / 3)

A new item in the list of conditions under which Hillary would already be the nominee: if African American votes only counted 3/5.
