It seems the Michigan Democrat primary vote was essentially meaningless because the national party stripped the state of its delegates. It held its contest too early in the election season, and Hillary was the only major contender whose name appeared on the ballot. Yet, about 70 percent of Michigan’s black voters did not cast their votes for her, choosing the “uncommitted” option instead. However, these voters weren’t uncommitted because according to CNN exit polls, they overwhelmingly favored Barack Obama, whose name did not appear on the ballot.
Now, we all know how accurate the polls have been, but I suspect they're right on the money in this latest assessment. What happens next with the black vote, in South Carolina, should tell the whole story.
