But her words are probably true
This is not to say that Senator Obama does not have qualities to recommend him. However, in the southern primaries many African-Americans voted for one of their own. There is nothing wrong with this, but had there not been a black man on the ballot I'm certain HRC would have gotten an overwhelming African-American vote based on the fond memories they have of the Clintons in the White House the first time. Yes, Obama won states that were mostly white, but those are also relatively small states. Strictly from a numbers standpoint HRC would almost certainly be the presumptive nominee by now without Obama to take the black vote from her.
