Barack Obama won Mississippi last night by a significant margin, 61-37. He carried the African American vote 92-8, but lost the white vote 30-70. This is the most pronounced racial divide we’ve seen thus far. Exit Poll Results
Chuck Todd of MSNBC raised an interesting point this morning on Morning Joe… if Obama is the nominee, considering 350,000 people voted in MS’ Democratic Primary yesterday, could Obama tip the balance in Mississippi? 1/3 of the state’s electorate  is African American: if he could make inroads with traditional white Democrats, and carry the African American vote by 90-10 margins, could that flip Mississippi?

Couple other notes about news today:

1. What the hell is with Geraldine Ferraro?  Now there’s a blast from the past, a name you probably haven’t heard for 10…15 years? I think I’ve heard more about Geraldine Ferraro in the past 24 hours than I’ve heard in my life. Look… she’s just another feminist who thinks she’s been disenfranchised because Hillary was ‘entitled’ to this nomination. It’s happened with a lot of feminists. Hillary Clinton was going to be president, they looked forward to a female president, and now it appears that they’re losing it. What bothers me most about feminists is that they judge the gender of candidate over the qualifications of the candidate, and I think that ultimately, the sentiment expressed by Ferraro reflects the opinions of a lot of feminists across the nation.  The Clinton campaign should try to stay away from her, and dear God, please…. keep her off of Good Morning America here on out.

2. NY Gov Elliot Spitzer is screwed…that’s all…
