Mississippi Votes

Surprise, surprise - a southern state votes along racial lines. Obama got between 1/4 - 1/3 of the white vote in Mississippi, it seems. Clinton got the rest. However, the black vote was about 90% for Obama. We saw similar results in Alabama and Louisiana. The delegate haul should be pretty good, though, because Obama was leading among women and men in double digits.

It is also noteworthy that 13% of the voters were self-identified Republicans, and 78% of them voted for Clinton. As many here know, some on the right, including Rush, are encouraging Republicans to cross over and vote for Clinton in order to keep the Democratic primary process going, and/or because they think she's the weaker candidate.
