Obama Wins Mississippi’s Democratic Primary

Associated Press (AP) and the three cable networks, CNN, FoxNews, and MSNBC, have all projected Senator Barack Obama as having won the Mississippi Democratic primary election.  However, the talking heads now point to the fact that half the electorate in Mississippi are African Americans.  But they forget to mention that Obama won last Saturday’s primary caucus in Wyoming which is overwhelmingly white.  It has a population of less than 1% blacks in the state.  In fact, of the 29 states he has won, only South Carolina, Georgia and Louisiana has a sizable number of blacks in the population.

Let’s look at the 2006 census of populations in these states - Louisiana 31%, Maryland 27%, South Carolina 29%, Georgia 30%, Virginia 20%.  You could then see how warped their analyses are.
