Mississippi went to Obama yesterday, with 90% of Blacks supporting him and 70% of Whites voting for Hillary Clinton. I would tend to see this racial divide as a bit of a problem for the Democratic candidate, regardless of who wins the nomination.
That is exactly what NYTimes commentator John Harwood is now saying in a 2minute video analysis of the Mississippi's primary.
A racial comment by Geraldine Ferrerro (who ran as VP for Walter Mondale in 1984) created contreversy these last couple days and led to her resignation from the Clinton fund-raising operation yesterday. She had declared that Barack Obama would not have come this far had he not been African-American.
