He's still carrying the baggage of being the "black candidate"

2. Black/White isn't going to matter this year
Maybe America has finally gotten over the racial divide regardless of how hard the media tries to stir it up.

13. He won Iowa- a very white state. He came within 3 points in NH
another very white state. He was withing 5.5 points in NV and I can guarantee you he'll win Vermont, the whitest state in the union. He'll blow Hill and JE away here.

8. I agree...
It's just ridiculous that the media looks to these numbers as fast as they can. They are salivating over at CNN to get all of the racial stuff in.

14. More Democrats who made up their mind in the last week in Florida went for Obama!
According to the exit polls - a lot of people in the Super Tuesday states are still undecided.

17. Why are we even talking about meaningless votes?
In states where Obama has not campaigned, Clinton leads due to her high name recognition. However, where Obama has a chance to campaign, his numbers go way up. That's why this vote is meaningless because nobody campaigned there.

25. Black and white won't matter this year.
It's the latino vote that will make the difference and my peeps are overwhelmingly going for Hillary!! MSNBC brought a reporter from Telemundo who said the same thing, word out on the streets of L.A. and other cities in CA is that Hillary will win most of the latino votes.
