#1 Blacks are voting for Obama vs Hillary on an 8 to 2 basis. They are also just under 60% of DC's population. Of course Obama's winning 3 to 1 in DC. That's the proportion of the black vote in the Democratic primary there.

#2 I'm still not sure it's a race issues. Blacks vote for Obama because they consider Hillary to be as vile as the rest of us, perhaps more so.

Like it or not, race affinity is a big factor in elections. Whites are probably the least race-conscious, and blacks the most, with everyone else somewhere in the middle. The average Democrat likes the Clintons. The communist media hate them because they're not hard left like Obama or Edwards, not because of personal foibles. The average Democrat likes the Clintons. But there is no way blacks are gonna to vote for a white candidate when there's a black one available and he's even more left-wing than the white candidate, not to attends a black supremacist church and has been endorsed by the black supremacist Black Panthers.

As analyst, I must aver...
Voters thoroughly examined her...
And she not only merely lost...
She's really most sincerely lost!

#7 Hope Obama's life insurance is paid up.
Or as Kathleen Willey might suggest - Hope he has pet insurance...
