Clinton seems to be winning Indiana on a combination of republican spoiler votes and a rump of racist white-male democrats.

That's not much of a base. But it's depressing how significant the racist vote still seems to be.

Yeah, 20% said they were voting McCain in November, and they voted 87-12% for Clinton. That's staggering.

The funny thing is, Clinton can't win the Presidency without the AA vote. Bashing Obama is not winning hearts and minds.

True, but which part of 'batshit insane' isn't obvious yet?

Or she's going for 2012. Or it's what the lizard people told her to do.

Or whatever.

Wouldn't worry too much about the racists. It's depressing, but ya gotta figure 10% of people are just stone-cold racist little shits anywhere you go. They wouldn't vote for a Dem in November anyway, in all likelihood.
