Obama was expected to win N.C., with its large African American population, handily. And so he did. But Indiana, with its heavily working-class-white population and small African American population, should've been a big win for Clinton. Instead, she barely won it at all. That did terrible damage to her pitch to superdelegates that she can win working-class whites, while Obama can't, and therefore she's the more electable candidate. “Seriously, last night the floodgates just opened and I think it had to do with how big Obama won North Carolina.”
