I voted on Supertuesday.

She is not winning back her base. (i.e.--me.)

I'm a precinct chair in MN--and I haven't talked to anyone who feels that she's won them back. It's the opposite--she's greatly offended Obama supporters. Truly.

(I don't believe the numbers that show most obama supporters would still support HRC in Nov. Get a grip and check out the posts/blogs/chats. My precinct's turnout was on the average over 40 y.o. If they dont' want to suppport her, I don't see how all those college students are going to come out for her.

Maybe Ohio is more racist than other white states. And it is mainly because of Strickland. They probably care more about race than issues of significance to America. I hope Ohio helps Hillary win so that McCain delivers her an embarrassing defeat.

At this point, Clinton is now ahead by 18% in Ohio, after polls saying that the race had narrowed to only a few points. Isn't that a REALLY sizaable lead, and why isn't MSNBC commenting on that? It isn't just that she's now won Ohio, but that it's a large margin. Once again tonight, Chris Matthews is working hard to find anything negative to say about the Clintons. It's really a shame to see this on MSNBC.

Fred James, Durham NC — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 04:12:45 GMT

Isn't "winning back her base" a lazy way of saying Ohio is particular to identity politics, with a deeper substratum of out-and-out racism than the other states? And the 80 percent "race is important" crowd is "interesting"? Really? Interesting? I can think of some other words for a state with twenty percent of its Democratic population publicly identifying themselves as racist. How about some reporting on which candidate did best with the "race and gender doesn't matter" crowd? Or is that going to slide away with the other data that doesn't match this cycle's narrative? I guess the Clinton campaign's transparent strategies really do work -- with the elderly, with the racist, and with the press.

Who are the REAL racists in this country??? Black people go on and on and on about so called white racism when they themselves are the ones most guilty. Hey, if whites are so darn racist, how come a state like IOWA votes overwhelmingly for a BLACK man? Huh? But it is blacks who vote overwhelmingly by race. The numbers are obvious. More than 9 out of 10 blacks vote Obama. Why? Is it because of his great policies??? I would bet 9 of 10 blacks don't even know what Obama stands for as evidenced by polling results of blacks being asked that question and the subsequent black responses. They don't know and don't care. It's a "brother" running for office. Who cares what he stands for."He's one of us" right? The numbers tell the true story.

It is white America who has turned the corner, and it is black America that remains lost in the past, with the "pain" of slavery. Gimme a break. NO BLACK PERSON ALIVE in America has EVER been a slave, and have just as much opportunity, EVEN MORE, than white Americans and they know it.

One again black America shows who the real racists in this country are.

Blacks want a society where color isn't an issue. Yeah right. Why don't blacks practice what they preach?

Saw a blog that they locked out some voters in Cleveland and felt ashamed to think that there are such narrow-minded fearful people living in a city I once called home! A man with such leadership qualities, charisma, energy and the audacity to hope has not been seen during our generation (baby-boomer) unless you are old enough to remember JFK!!! There were so many that thought he was too young and were intolerant because he was Catholic! What a different world we could have if we all could be more accepting of "Differences" and vote for the strongest leader.

I can see a scenario where a lot of Obama supporters are ticked off at how Hillary treated their guy and sit at home in November. If this happens, say hello to President McCain.

blacks have really proven they will vote for skin color in a 9 out of every 10 of them vote black for black - the opposite of what MLK and the Clintons fought for - they have tunred their backs on them and proven that America is still racist but lead by the black race now.

Obmaa ought to be ashamed not mentionnig this to the public about voting for the best candidate and not for skin color.

9 out of every 10 whites should vote white for white. I for one won't take racism and don't give it but an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth

_______________________________

I suppose I view this as a glass half filled, since it is only 20%: yet, 80% cast their vote for Hillary. This certainly suggests that Ohio isn't the poster child for judging a person based on the content of their character. As an AA I'm a bit disappointed but not really surprised (I've spent many years working throughout Ohio, espeically in rural areas) and the 20%-80% is in line with my overall impressions of the state based on my experiences there.

I'm concerned however, that Camp Hillary will continue having 60 minutes 'moments', will continue to 'darken' Obama in their videos, and will continue to use any and all of the 'fear' tactics they can in pursuit of this nomination.

As there are millions of whites who have voted for Obama, I choose to believe that the Ohio 20% are not representative of the country. And even as I write this, the inner turmoil is palpable and I'm calling myself naive.

I will continue to choose hope.

Sigh

What does THAT mean?!? Are you guys running for political office?!? You must be, based upon laying that "egg" of ambiguity....

I am supposed to interpret that statistic that 16% (8-in-10 of 1-in-5) of the Ohio electorate that voted for Clinton are racist, and that the racist vote was a major part of her margin of victory in Ohio?!?

Stop trying to be so "PC" and say it like it is, if that is INDEED what the exit polls show. And why it THAT not a big story line out of Ohio?

I am for the goodness of the country and will not be blind to see that Obama is not right for this country.

I tried to explain Hillary's built in "49% of the country already is against her" polls, Hillary's divisiveness, and McCain will take the independents Obama would have, but all I got was a meek, "Uh, I don't think so."

Thank you for making me remember that I live in a country that is still struggling with institutional racism against Black Americans. Thank you for reminding me that America still uses the color of the skin as a measuring stick. And always will. So Tell Ward Connerly, the fight is still on!

Why do we always go to the negative? The report states that 20% of Democrats said race is important – maybe it’s white people thinking it’s time we had a minority president!

Or, maybe it’s not all whites who think that race is important if the 1 in 5 making that statement are wanting ‘one of their own’ in office -- I didn’t read 1 in 5 ‘white’ Democrats, just 1 in 5 Democrats. It's probably not worth noting that the report also states that 19% of Democrats in Ohio are black. About 1 in 5, isn't that?

I guess she's had a wealth of experience answering those 3a.m. crisis phone calls (every time a bimbo pops up or calls creates another crisis to which she blindly replies (repeat after me) "My husband did not...!").

I doubt blacks (I am white) are voting for Obama for the same reason as Hillary. They udnerstand history, and the "fairy tale" is a code for racists in the 1960's, if you will. I have read in which many blacks doubted Obama's candidacy and favored Hillary (all of my black male friends voted for Hillary in Iowa, though they know support Obama) until Bill's aggressive race biating become public.
But Ohio's whites are voting for Hillary by listening to her fear mongering and race biating, thus making themselves racists. Blacks don't even want to be accused in history of voting against a multiracial man. But there are also issues like the war and the economy that blacks feel Obama is best positioned to address.
Now, shut up accusing them of racism while overlooking our country's LONG, UGLY history.

In 2004, we had a promising candidate in Howard Dean, who would have gotten us out of Iraq and turned this country around. Instead, Democrats chose wimpy John Kerry, and got four more years of Bush and Iraq as a direct result.

In 2008, we have a real chance to move our country in a new direction with a different kind of politician, Barack Obama. Instead, it appears we will put forth another cynical Washington panderer, this one worse than the other bad choices (Mondale, Dukakis, Kerry and now, Hillary Clinton).

Thanks to that shortsighted move, McCain is likely to take the White House. I'm not even sure I'd mind him over Hillary. Although I hate everything McCain stands for, I trust him more than I do the kind of Democrat who would destroy another Democrat in her quest for power. McCain didn't imply Obama was a Muslim or instigate a smear campaign by sending a seemingly damning photo to Drudge. Hillary's campaign did. McCain didn't run a fake newscast accusing Obama of secret deals regarding NAFTA. Hillary's campaign did.

Despite the wreck she's making of the one chance we've got to change direction, she'll probably bully and smear-campaign her way into the nomination.

I won't be voting for her though. I wonder who she'll blame when this country goes completely to hell thanks to four more years of Republican rule.

No, Ohio isn't the most racist state > Alabama and most southern states with our heavy black populations are the most racist states cause we/they voted striclty for obmaa because he was black - I live in Southside Birmingham, Albama where the population is 65% black to 30% white and watched the exit polls here on TV. America is still racial just as many black racists as white racists - dont cry now that the white vote took up for a white candidate when blacks have been doing it all along! Yall cant ahve your way all the time

Go Clinton!

Affirmative action is wrong and not fair to all races. If your race makes up 17% of the population then you should only make up that amount in the workplace, etc.

Blacks in the south are very racists towards whites - payback is hell isn't it but as long as yall dumbama supporters were getting their way they didn't cry but now that you lost tonight you start screaming Ohio and America is racist - u r exactly right just like the racists blacks in the south and the ones that vote 9 out of 10 for a black candidate!!!

How does Chuck Todd keep his job at MSNBC?
When are Matthews and Olbermann going to tell the network to get this embarassment off the air? They claim him as MSNBC political guru. Huh? Quit covering for this guy. He seldom gets it right and never has to justify or rectify.

media coverage is fair and balanced. cnn reports that white women with hispanic husbands that have one eye and one leg voted for hillary. msnbc reports that black veterans with limbs missing voted for mccain. abc reports that hispanic lesbians have all voted for obama. cbs reports that handicapped asians voted for ron paul. fox news reports that heterosexual evangelicals who enjoy squirrel meat during thanxgiving voted for huckabee.

In Ohio we are very racist! Against the bigger racists, black people. Thats a fact, we can't stand the fact that black people can be openly racist and other races cant! Thats why we are the way we are. BTW I'm hispanic.
