Nonsense
"...It does not, would not ever matter what Hillary does or does not do, one way or the other. Black Americans will vote for Barack."
Nonsense, as Schaller's point is that they would not be voting for Obama in such overwhelming numbers had Clinton been more adroit in handling her campaign and, specifically, the way she regarded and handled the AA electorate.
Had this campaign not taken the low road, as it started to do in New Hampshire, in the wake of the panic inducing results of Iowa, she may well have had, at a minimum, that 20 to 30 pct of the black vote she needed to be in a stronger position vis a vis the Super Delegates.
She blew it and the reason why is she really didn't understand--or respect--the constituency she so long had taken for granted.
