Invalid Comparison
"Even George W. Bush captured a larger share of the African-American vote than she has in some recent primaries. In 2004, Bush got 11 percent of the African-American vote. In the Indiana Democratic primary on Tuesday, Clinton got the same percentage Bush did in '04 -- in North Carolina, though, she took just 7 percent."
This is not a valid comparison, since Bush wasn't running against an African-American. In a race against McCain, Hillary would undoubtedly get the majority of the African-American vote. Perhaps not at the same level as Obama, but certainly a lot higher than what Bush got or what McCain is likely to get.
