Potentially troubling news in Clinton's Nevada win
Potentially troubling news in Clinton's Nevada win

Black voters made up 16 percent of Democratic Nevada caucus-goers — and roughly 80 percent of them voted for Obama, according to entrance polls. Clinton won support from 16 percent of black voters.

In Michigan's Democratic primary Tuesday — a contest that was rendered meaningless after party sanctions — roughly 70 percent of African-American voters did not cast their votes for Clinton, choosing the “uncommitted” option instead. According to CNN exit polls, those voters overwhelmingly favored Barack Obama, whose name did not appear on the ballot.

2. Add this to the fact that she didn't win after all (Obama got more delegates)
Not such a good day for Team Hillary. And more bad news to come from SC....

3. Why is this such bad news--she won the caucuses.
Please explain. It is understood the African-Americans go for
Obama. For months now , all over TV especially MSNBC over
and over--Obama has to get the black vote. She has to win
the others. What am I missing.
