The black and white myth....

But.... But.... But.....

How could Obama have won North Carolina by so much? How could he have gotten within 22,000 votes of Clinton in Indiana? How is he going to win Pennsylvania and Ohio in November?

He CAN'T win white working class men!!!

Big lies die hard. There's a growing narrative among Clinton supporters that Obama is only really popular because of black voters. And among the media that the Democratic party is splintering along racial lines.

Never mind the fact that a splinter in the primary does not necessarily mean a split in the general. Never mind that plenty of those working class white guys would still much rather have a Democrat in the white house, of whatever color.

Yeah, he probably won't do as well in a few small rural states like Kentucky and W. Virginia.
But ... if this isn't the base of diverse coalition, I don't know what is


That's right. Obama won with everyone under 64. Whoa.

(*) The independents have gone for Obama in all but four states
