I had certain numbers in my head on what to look for in the exit polls.  Anything above 33% black turnout would mean a solid win, I think, because he was looking at 30-40+% of whites.  Black turnout today was 33%, and then you add the early voting in which they were 40%.

Might come in a little higher than I expected for him.

NC just got called for O as soon as the polls closed, so presumably he got over a 10-point lead.

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.
