It's not as if they made that decision reflexively- Hillary Clinton had significant support from African Americans until about November. And why shouldn’t they?

It's just the same mush-heads, with new wrinkles. So the racist B-HO is getting 90% of the black vote, I don't find that surprising, nor do I find it surprising that white voters don't like what they see whenever B-HO opens his falafal hole. Let them continue to rip each other, suits me, I think they are both done already, anyway. I lost interest in the polling data on these two dingus candidates long ago.

All this hand wringing strikes me as typical Democratic nervous nellie-ism. A huge increase in Democratic voter registration, building of strong ground operations in most states, new technologies being beta tested, lots of media coverage and battle testing for the nominee are of benefit to the nominee in the fall. Meanwhile, the Democrats stay at center stage while McCain wanders around in obscurity, failing to raise money and leaving a trail of gaffes in his wake. As long as they don't know at whom to aim their fire the Republicans can't cement their narrative. In the end, I remain convinced that we are going into an election that is so fundamentally seismic that either of them can win it, even if more closely than we might want, due to the breakthrough nature of their campaigns. The primary continuing on is not going to change that. I don't think people realize that the democratization the internet has brought to the system is also one of the main reasons why the campaign goes on. If you think superdelegates are undemocratic, back in the bad old days (of a couple of cycles ago) big party donors pulled the strings by pulling the money when they decided that someone had no chance to win. Today, both candidacies are where they are on the basis of avid small donor supporters contributing online and that's prolonged things past the point where it would have in the past. Thousands of Clinton supporters keep sending her money-- ten million since last night, apparently. So, if you don't like the fact that the campaign continues, blame the internet. It wouldn't have happened under the old paradigm. </blockquote> http://digbysblog.blogspot.com/2008/04/going-distance-by-digby-i-hate-writing.html Reason #31 Republicans are scared:
