Well, the Democrats have already shot themselves in the foot with their racial and sexual Identity Politics. The timing of Mississippi was ironic because the racial demographics of the vote lined up racially - exactly with what Ferraro said! Problem for Obama is, there is no growth margin in those southern states that Obama has piled up; he's just not getting enough white votes. And he hasn't won a big state except for his home state. Even though I don't care for McCain, I'm realistic enough to see that he is well-positioned to grab a lot of white and Hispanic and Catholic and Jewish Democrats who just won't vote for Obama. Those superdelegates are smart enough to see that Obama v. McCain puts a lot of "blue states" into play for McCain, and tilts swing states to McCain too, but really doesn't imperil "red states" since the black vote Obama relies on always goes overwhelmingly Democrat anyway. So it will be funny if Obama manages to save the nomination from Billary, only to be on the wrong side of an historic landslide in November...
