Obama’s Night
- 05.06.2008 - 7:46 PMIt may prove decisive that he has won North Carolina — may, as I indicated below, mean he’s effectively crossed the finish line. But if the Indiana results hold up, and Hillary wins by 10 to 15 points, it will indicate nothing has changed in the dynamic of the Democratic race. He will, once again, have won a state because of a large black vote and a large student vote. She will have won a large, industrial Midwestern state dominated by lower-middle-class white Democratic voters. So the weakness she has exposed in his candidacy will remain.

In other words, Obama is only polular with racists, fools and the sophomoric. Not exactly the best electorate to decide a Presidential election.
Thank God they wont.

The most important statistic coming out of these primaries today is the fact that 40-50% of Hillary’s voters claim they will not vote for Obama in the General Election. This is astounding, and this number is much higher than in previous states. Here is where the Rev. Wright influence is being felt. If even 1/3 of these people keep their word, Obama will lose by a significant margin to McCain in the fall.
