[0:00]" Look I think that Hillary Clinton has the advantage in Indiana for several reasons first of all it reflects. Exactly the kind of voters that he's done well with and similar states Ohio Pennsylvania. These are white voters without college educations now Obama has. An advantage in the western part of the state which gets a lot of Chicago television but. By and large I think she is going to win Indiana and I think that reflects a larger trend we've now seen since the middle of February the fact is that Barack Obama.

And state like North Carolina could be 3040% black and Georgia half for the people who vote in democratic primary African Americans. -- and -- eight or nine out of every ten African American votes that's an enormous insurance policy. If it weren't for the huge black vote North Carolina -- is she could probably win that state to"
