Well Obama may yet pull out a slim victory tonight. Worse case scenario for Obama appears to be a slim defeat and to those who might be disappointed that the Wicked Witch of the Ozarks melt away tonight, take heart! New Hampshire is only 1.27% black (as of 2005). And Iowa isn't much different.

What I'm saying here is that Obama has yet to go up against Shrillary in a state with a significant black population and he is already beating her or holding his own.

ok but since only 12% of US population is black, even if Obama sweeps all of them, Hillary would still win the nomination since she is stronger with key constituencies: women, unions, especially. She’ll take more of Edwards’ leftovers. If Hillary wins or comes close tonight, it is a big victory for her. Obama could win a few of the southern states (as Jesse Jackson did in ‘88) and prob Illinois, but Hillary will take NY and California, prob Fla, NJ, Pennsylania. Don’t get caught up in the media hype about Hilla the Hun. It’s al smoke to try and keep this thing exciting. She will win the nomination.
