This i think is exciting for Asians (a population that has been called the "sleeping giant" in recent years)
Quoted: But Clinton more than compensated by winning among Latinos by a 2-to-1 margin and among Asian-Americans by a 3-to-1 margin.
"Asians were a surprise," said Bruce Cain, director of the University of California's Washington Center. "It's the first (presidential) election we have seen where Asian voters were a big factor. They are about 8 percent of the Democratic electorate.... The two major immigrant groups voted for Clinton as opposed to the candidate who has the immigrant background."

Quoted: The idea that women are going to race off to vote for any candidate with the same internal plumbing is both offensive and historically wrong.

This is why electability is such a ridiculous thing during the primary...when we have two popular candidates, we should just vote on the issues and which one we want not one who we think will beat the opposition. electability is a media construct that fluctuates constantly.
But this is good news for Clinton going into Indiana, definitely.Quoted: WASHINGTON -- Hillary Rodham Clinton has a better chance than Barack Obama of beating Republican John McCain, according to a new Associated Press-Ipsos poll that bolsters her argument that she is more electable in the fall than her rival for the Democratic nomination.

Quoted:
Goodbye to...
February 2, 2008Goodbye To All That” was my (in)famous 1970 essay breaking free from a politics of accommodation especially affecting women (for an online version, see http://blog.fair-use.org/category/chicago/).
During my decades in civil-rights, anti-war, and contemporary women’s movements, I’ve avoided writing another specific “Goodbye . . .” But not since the suffrage struggle have two communities—joint conscience-keepers of this country—been so set in competition, as the contest between Hillary Rodham Clinton (HRC) and Barack Obama (BO) unfurls. So.
