So he gets his 91%. Not that there is anything to do with identity politics about this. The problem of course is it won't mean a thing in the general.

As they should be... Hagee has said much worse, and yet not a peep out of the media...  I leave it as an exercise to the reader to figure out why!

No surprise since it was a contrived controversy.  People care about the economy, not what some pastor says.  Obama can't control what the guy says after all.

Guess Rev. Wright was correct when he said that attacks on him were attacks on the entire black church.  Clearly that's how it was taken in the AA community.

Whites are not breaking 90%+ for Clinton. And i didn't call blacks a monolithic block either.

I'd be very surprised if Obama carries whites in North Carolina. But could happen.

EXACTLY! Couldn't be said better. the general is what matters, after all, George McGovern was the nominee in 1972 with the Obama coalition

Obama can't win the general election, eh?  Since you can predict the future, please tell me which stocks will be up tomorrow.

all the things people have been saying about Obama.

But, as far as Black voters go: can Hillary win the general without the AA vote.  I don't think so.  So, try not to dismiss the black vote so glibly.  

Who says he can't win the general? Do you have a crystal ball?

Why can Clinton win only when Limbaugh Republicans vote for her... or only rural white people?  Bill Clinton didn't win the white vote in 1992 or 1996, how can she expect to win the general without the black vote in 2008?

Take a look at the upper left corner of the main MyDD page.  According to Jerome's polling Obama wins the GE.  

There has not been a GE for Obama to fail to win

You're including Florida and Michigan, I assume?  

Would Obama have trouble in California?  New York?  I don't think so.

Will Clinton win Texas?  Unlikely.  

Hi Jay,

I am 55, White, and me and about 70% of folks JUST LIKE ME in King County, (Seattle) voted for Obama?

Oh, wait..I guess I am an Elite?

My dad and mom would be so proud!

"Hussein"?

You've navigated to the wrong site.  You're looking for littlegreenfootballs.com

Why can't Hillary win anyone else other than rural republicans, Limbaugh Republicans, and 80-year old former union workers?  

There are more voters in heaven and earth that are dreamt of in your philosophy, DiamondJay...  most of Clinton's voters are closer to the latter... which is fine now, but what happens to Hillary in 2012 when many of her voters have passed on to the great voting booth in the sky?  2016?  2020?  

I'm not denigrating senior voters.  I actually admire them, since they are the last generation that can speak out for the New Deal, but, the party must look to the future, not the past!

Most democrats will vote Obama in November, even if they don't think he's "one of their own."

well lets see, Virginia and Maryland he won because of the blacks, and the rest are small states with few people. They're not swing states either. Small states like him because he's the new thing, and they're not going to McCain.

not to mention, those states were largely before his crazy racist white hating pastor came out. it was a completely different ball game

North Carolina - big on latte and gucci.

Yay, NC has joined the rank of states that do not matter according to Hillary supporters -- too bad I don't remember you saying that yesterday.

Ummm... Obama is competitive with McCain acording to recent polling...

BTW, your argument can be used with a lot of Hillary states, too....

Alright, so is this now a confirmation that Indiana also doesn't count?

It's hard to keep track sometimes, so a confirmation on the matter would be nice.

I suspect it means Obama won everywhere in NC?  In IN, large citys are late to report, and they are seeing Clinton win big in the rural, Obama in the cities...

Yeah, I'm sure they don't want another MO, but that probably isn't the case here.

Haven't you been watching?  These things go county by county, and as each counties votes come in, these numbers change.

Oh they've already been moved all the way to Denver. Sen. Clinton will be losing ground tonight but I assume the spin will be that tonight was a good night.

She is going to win Indiana and then its on to WV where he will blown away again.

Not as serious a problem as Clinton is having with African-American voters...
