96. I recommend you check your math
BtW, an excellent poster named Katzenkavelier has put forward a series of posts about racism or "racismo" among his fellow Latinos that is well worth looking at in terms of the opportunities for driving a wedge between Latino and Black voters. (There's also a book by Earl Shorris called Latinos with a chapter on "Racismo", also of interest. These issues are very sensitive and note that you only really need to be able to swing a segment of any community to tip elections that are at all competitive. It is not necessary for the majority to be vulnerable to manipulation.

Same with white voters, who ARE the majority both in the NV caucuses and in both MI and FL (not to be overlooked) primaries.
If, say, 20% of Obama's white supporters decide either to vote HRC or just simply not to vote for Obama, then these venues could tip to her.

And this notion that the Clinton couple 'know not what they do' is about as believable as the tobacco companies trying to present cigarette smoking as glamorous and healthy

(Of course, the so-utterly-separate-from-the-HRC-campaign-I-could-spit disenfranchisement geared lawsuit in NV could interfere with that aspect of the HRC strategy).
