Clinton, Obama and the Racial Divide, Cont'd

National Review ^ | April 02, 2008 | Byron York

Black Democrats are voting largely along racial lines.

With few policy differences between the candidates, Obama won 92 percent of the black vote in Mississippi, 91 percent in Wisconsin, 87 percent in Ohio, 84 percent in Maryland, and 84 percent in Texas.

White Democrats are voting significantly less along racial lines, but there are still divisions.

There seems to be no chance Clinton can win more black votes against Obama, so her only hope is to encourage more whites to vote along racial lines.

No one in the campaign would ever say such a thing — they certainly haven't to me — but what white voters do in Pennsylvania on April 22 will be a critical indicator of where Clinton's campaign is going.

from the new Quinnipiac poll:

Clinton leads 59 - 34 percent among white Pennsylvania likely primary voters, while Obama leads 73 - 11 percent among black Democrats.

That just can't be...That would support what Geraldine Ferraro said...and we know that was racist...s/

These numbers may cause a backlash come the fall...
