Barack Obama headed towards a solid victory over Hillary Clinton in the Mississippi primary on tuesday 11th/March/2008, re-asserting his status as the frontrunner in the final stretch of the campaign for the Democratic nomination.


However, the vote in Mississippi drew attention to the deepening racial polarisation within the Democratic party, only hours after a row over comments made by Geraldine Ferraro, a Clinton supporter.


As in other southern states, Obama owed his finish last night to strong support from African-American voters. Mississippi has the largest African-American electorate of any of the southern states, and they voted for Obama in overwhelming numbers.

Whites largely shunned Barack Obama in Mississippi's Democratic presidential primary on Tuesday as the Deep South showed once again its reluctance to embrace him across racial lines.
While 92 percent of blacks lined up behind the Illinois senator, 70 percent of whites supported Hillary Rodham Clinton, according to an exit poll of voters conducted for The Associated Press and the television networks.

In my view and I believe what Obama's advisers capitalised on, that division was all Obama needed because voters were split about evenly between the two races.

While Obama has typically received lopsided numbers of black votes and Clinton, a New York senator, generally has won among whites, Tuesday's racial polarization was stark.
While Obama has at times shown signs of eroding Clinton's support among whites, that was not the case Tuesday or last week in Ohio and Texas, contests that helped her regain some momentum in the race.


However, it is that extended pattern of black support that carried Obama to victory in earlier southern primary elections in South Carolina, Alabama, Georgia and Louisiana.

This racial dependance has led to rather conflicting statements from the clinton team. "If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position," Geraldine Ferraro, the Democratic vice-presidential candidate in 1984, told a California newspaper. "And if he was a woman he would not be in this position. He happens to be very lucky to be who he is. And the country is caught up in the concept," Ferraro said.

The good news is that Geraldine Ferraro has resigned as I write this over these comments she made.

So if you are a barak obama supporter, such words cannot fail to leave you pondering whether in reality this could be the case if obama clinched the democratic nomination and was to face John Mcain, a white.

Will the Southern white population vote for Obama in the general election? My interpretations of obama's victory in missisipi is that, In a close election it would be crucial that Obama is competitive in the Southern states.

The good news is that, in a general election where obama faces The republican nominie, Senator barak obama , in my ipinion will stand the best chance to clinch the US presidency because of very sharp differences between the to which make Obama more appealing to the electorate. But obama would need to garner the support of the white democrates who have not supported him in the primaries.
