I am sure there are a lot of happy people in Clinton land today, as well there should be, but a quick reading of the exit poll should show some sign of concern for the Clinton Camp. What we really saw of the establishment of the coalition along which the camp will be fought, to coalition which at the outset seem very evenly matched.
Lets take a quick look at who makes of which coalition.
African Americans are rallying around Barack Obama, he won the African American vote 83% to 14% according to the MSNBC Entrance poll http://www.msnbc.msn.com/... What is more, While African Americans represent only 7% of the states people, they accounted for 15% of Caucusgoers. Hillary Clinton has also found her base. Latino’s who represent 19% of the state represented 15% of Caucus Goers and they vote for Hillary Clinton 64% to 26%. This coupled with the fact that NV has zero real college towns and Hillary Clinton’s near universal support from the state’s elected leadership was able to allow her to edge a six point win. The age gap also unlike NH returned with vengeance. Barack Obama won all those under 45, winning under 30 by 26%, he even kept it close with 45-59’s losing only by 4. His big defeat like in NH and MI was with seniors, who voted for Hillary by 29 points, 60 to 31. Senior turnout representing 36% of Caucus Goers was the prime reason for the Clinton Victory. This Demographic breakdown would likely lead to a deadlocked convention because these coalitions are simply very evenly matched.
