He did win them in Wisconsin though (5.00 / 1) (#173)

right?  He really did well, demographically, in WI.

I really appreciate your second paragraph.  When people say "best for the party" it usually just means "the best for Barack Obama."  "Best for the party" is usually just a guise for pushing the other candidate out of your way.

Wisconsin was 51/48 Clinton among white Democrats. He did win them in Vermont and Illinois though (53/46 in IL - shockingly narrow, if you ask me).

Of course, Hillary hasn't won the black vote anywhere, even in Arkansas or NY. Both sides of the coin are fairly depressing.

You're right, he did win Illinois and Vermont and white Democrats.  Illinois doesn't really count because its his home state -- although, it still should give everyone weak knees that he still lost white democrats in southern Illinois. That was his home state where he supposedly is loved and adored by 110% of the population.
