WASHINGTON - Exit polls show that about half the voters in Indiana and North Carolina said the focus on the Rev. Jeremiah Wright was a major factor in deciding whom to back in those states� presidential primaries. But the controversy was providing little help to Hillary Rodham Clinton.

In both states, Clinton was leading among white voters while Obama was dominating among blacks, both familiar patterns. Obama was also doing poorly in both states in attracting the votes of white working-class voters.

1. Yes, but important in what way?

It could be a plus for Obama, in that he handled it well.

2. Hillary blows the black vote..

...and continues to.

While the lamestream racist media drones on about the "white working-class" votes Obama doesn't get (which is not even true in many cases), they rarely mention that HILLARY BLOWS in getting the black vote.

NINETY PERCENT of AAs have been voting Obama.

Stick THAT in your Narc pipe and suck on it Hillary. Don't forget to INHALE. Better have a fifth of whiskey as a chaser, too.

7. Wait! Don't give up on me yet!

For one thing, it's not my avatar, and it's not even mine. I got it from the OP.

Brack is the name that tiger-faced cartoon character you can sometimes see late night on Adult Swim on the Cartoon Network. One of his funny lines is "HELLO MY NAME IS BRAAACK!" (You had to be there.) I recognized the OP's fun, so my post was a high-five.

No, I'm not saying he's a monster! If you could see my sig line, you'd see we're on the same side.

GOBAMA!

4. Very telling

that Wright was an important factor is 50% of the voters, yet Obama still routed Clinton in NC and is keeping the IN vote too close to call. Can you imagine what the totals would have been without 3 straight weeks of Rev. Wright and without Limbaugh's goons voting for Hillary? Most importantly, she's completely lost the AA vote and no Democrat can win without them. They are the key voting block for the Dem party.

Hillary's toast. Finally.
