I love this!

The Democratic Party is segregating itself along racial lines. Blacks are turning their backs on Hillary Clinton, whites are turning away from Barack Obama.

New York Times Article

Race has been a defining feature of the primary contests. Beyond Mississippi, Mrs. Clinton was backed by 5 percent of black voters in Illinois, Mr. Obama’s home state; 8 percent in Wisconsin, where black voters made up 8 percent of the Democratic primary vote; 9 percent in Delaware; 10 percent in Virginia; and 11 percent in Georgia, all states Mr. Obama won.

Mr. Obama’s 26 percent support among whites in Tuesday’s primary was one of his worst performances with this group.

He had previously been supported by 16 percent of white voters in Arkansas; 23 percent in Florida, where the candidates did not actively campaign; 24 percent in South Carolina, where John Edwards was still competing; and 25 percent in Alabama.

Most of the elite Democrats have shunned Hillary and thrown their support to Obama. But most of the white Democrat rank and file voters are not supporting the candidate that the most prominent members of the Democratic Party have endorsed.

One can only hope that this results in the Democratic Party being fractured beyond repair. I’ve got my fingers crossed.
