I'll bet he will win. His minority constituency will certainly vote for him and so will a large segment of academia - you know - the metrosexuals and feminazis.
But I don't live in the area and others who are in NC will have a better handle on the election.
I'll bet he will win.

I seriously doubt it. What he has accomplished is:
1. Racial polarization that will cause the percentage of the African American community that buy into that kind of thing to vote for the African-American candiate.
2. The academic male haters will vote for the woman candidate.
His chance was to get the white vote. I suspect every day he is losing more and more of the white vote. The white vote might sit home, but I can not see many ordinary whites voting for a guy who would try to smear white people due to their race.
I seriously think he will finish third in the primary.
