Please show me states that held a PRIMARY in which less than 25% of the reg voters were black in which Obama won by more than 5 points.

And McCain won California and New York....so does that mean he's going to win them in the fall?
Nope.
Primary victories are not a reliable indicator of how a candidate will fare in that same state during the general election. The only reason we're hearing this nonsense about "big states" and "electoral math" in this primary season is because it's the only argument Hillary can make....she's lost this race by every standard measure, so she had to make up her own.
You want me to show you a state that held a primary where this percentage of voters were this and Obama won by more than that?
What's next, Obama can't win states that start with the letter "N" and have 3 syllables and more than two rivers....so therefore Hillary should be the nominee?
This is beyond ridiculous.
When the race is over, you count up the votes (or delegates in a primary or electoral votes in the general) and the person with the most votes wins. Why is that so hard for some people to get through their thick skulls?
After what happened in 2000 you would think democrats would be united on the principle that the person with the most votes should win.
