Fascinating reading

Tom Shales at Salon runs the numbers if Hillary Clinton had been losing the black vote 80/20 rather than 90/10. (She'd be even/ahead in popular vote and +60 in pledged delegates.)

That short term effort to diminish the South Carolina loss through racial levers may have cost her the presidency.
