Analysis: Facing losses, Clinton recasts

Jim, you and I slightly disagree. Obama will keep a higher percentage of those voting for Hillary than Hillary will keep of those voting for Obama. Obama will lose some of Hillary's older and other voters who will not vote for a black candidate. It's not a matter of policy specifics or issues.

There is still a substantial percentage of the electorate who will not vote for a black candidate. However, a high percentage of those in that grouping will vote for McCain in November regardless of who the Democratic nominee is.

But Hillary has a very real ceiling of people who will not vote for her because of her husband and the feeling that we have had enough of political dynasties in thuis country.
