"White Democratic party voters don't like being called racist, as the Obama campaign and its surrogates did in an effort to explain humiliating losses in NH, OH, and PENN."


NH??? How was NH a humiliating loss? Both Clinton and Obama got 9 delegates there!

It was Iowa that was a very humiliating loss for Clinton. She liked going in to NH as the alleged underdog so that her surrogates could name her the "comeback kid" when she tied Obama. She really didn't blow the socks off anyone in NH! She really should have. Remember her original national campaign co-chairman was Billy Sheehan (before he got fired for bringing up Obama's "drug use".) Billy was the husband of the ex-Governor of NH. Of course Clinton should have done well there. In fact, she should have done better than she did with all that powerful democratic support gunning for her in NH.

The only ones that predicted an inaccurate outcome for NH were the *pollsters* and the media.

Pennsylvania wasn't a humiliating loss either. If you remember, Clinton was up by 20 points a few months prior to the PA primary. The fact that Obama came within 9 points was actually considered a very good showing for him, better than expected.
