Political Wisdom: Obama and Clinton Perform True to Form

Here’s a summary of the smartest new political analysis on the Web:
by Gerald F. Seib

The victories of Sen. Barack Obama in Oregon and Sen. Hillary Clinton in Kentucky Tuesday came about because the two states performed were precisely true to form, says Politico’s David Paul Kuhn. “Barack Obama’s sizable victory was due to the more liberal, independent, upper-class and West Coast electorate of Oregon. Hillary Clinton’s whopping victory was possible thanks to the more moderate, more blue-collar, Upper South electorate of Kentucky.” Clinton won blue-collar whites in Kentucky, while Obama got nine of 10 blacks. Obama prevailed among Oregon voters with a college education. “In Oregon, like other more liberal states with small black populations, race appeared less of a factor. Obama won a remarkable six in ten white men in Oregon, and nearly split white women and white voters age 60 and older. Obama only narrowly won white Democrats overall in Oregon. But white independents supported him there by a two-to-one ratio.”
