He just gave a great speech. He addressed the issue of people calling him to idealistic a Hopemonger he said!!! Gave a powerful correlation
on how hope is what inspired the end of slavery, the greatest generation to win WWII, womens right to vote, on and on. He was very presidential tonight.

He made a strong impact for Tuesday's vote in Va.

My husband wore his Obama t-shirt all day in our predominately Republican neighborhood. He got a lot of conversation and looks.

Interesting point---only 33% of Hillary's voters would be satisfied if Obama was the nominee 65% would not

50% of Obama's voters would be satisfied if hillary if the nominee 50% would not.

I guess all of that 33% must be here since the conventional wisdom among the Hillary supporters here CLAIM they would vote for Obama if he won.

RIGHT!

Pat Buchanan has sized this up as implying that the whites supporting Hillary were racists. "Looking at the racial numbers that suggests that a lot of white voters do not want Obama at the top of their ticket."

Maddow disagreed with the conclusion. Note this is based on exit polling only in LA.

Another interesting point

LA is 63% white and 31% black yet 49% of the voters tonight there were black.

Way to inspire your voters Obama! Motivating them to get out and vote is a plus!


PS: Chalk up another 2 states with less than 5% african american population for Obama.
