Second Placers
The mood at the Romney party, "at least among some campaign officials, is a bit edgy." Barbara Comstock, a surrogate for the camp, "compared the waiting to 'going into labor'" ("The Caucus").
CNN's Malveaux, on how the Obama camp is reacting to HRC's FL win: "Wolf, they're really kind of laughing at it."
If I was Barack I would not be laughing too hard. The exit polls show a very disturbing trend for his base of voters support. Barack carried the African American vote by a ratio similar to South Carolina. And lo and behold, got the same ratio of white voters, about 22 percent. Lost the Latino vote by a ratio of 3 to 1. He cannot realistically win the nomination if he does not broaden his support among Hispanics and break even with Hillary among white voters. He will not be contesting many place in the future in which the African American vote is 55% of the democratic vote.
I heard though that most of HIllary's support in Florida came early in this state that allows early voting. The later deciders went for Obama. Shows he has more momentum.
