ABC News: Why Hillary Clinton Has the Upper Hand on Super Tuesday and Beyond
Feb 23, 2016, 12:34 PM ET
After two razor-thin victories for Hillary Clinton and one blowout for Bernie Sanders in New Hampshire, the two Democratic presidential hopefuls are separated by just one pledged delegate.
But maybe not for long.
Notwithstanding Clinton’s significant superdelegate advantage over Sanders, next on the calendar is the South Carolina Democratic primary. Clinton is expected to win there by double digits, thanks to her large support from African Americans, who made up more than half of the state’s Democratic electorate in 2008.
And on March 1 -- also known as “Super Tuesday” -- Democratic voters in 11 states will head to the ballot boxes. Seven of those Democratic contests are in the South, where many analysts believe that the large African-American and Hispanic populations will create a “firewall” for Clinton.
In several of those states -- Alabama, Georgia and Texas -- more than half of the 2008 Democratic electorate was nonwhite. Furthermore, these states are much more moderate. At least six in 10 voters from 2008 were moderates -- not liberals -- in Arkansas, Alabama, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Texas. These two groups are likely to boost Clinton to victories in most of these states.

The video at the link talks about a 30-point lead in SC and a Morgan Freeman-narrated ad naming several recent victims of police violence. I'm not gonna say it's over but folks this parrot is dead.

It rounded off to 6 points--a substantial win. Let's quit pretending her campaign is still in trouble. That was so last year.
Go Hillary!
I had seen the ad here, but I saw it on TV for the first time this afternoon (NYC/NJ area). I was surprised because the NY and NJ primaries are not until April 19 (NY) and June 7 (NJ).

A Huge Week for Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton
BY JOHN CASSIDY
In the Democratic race, Clinton appears to have an even bigger lock on the South than Trump does. I already mentioned the new poll from Georgia, showing her more than fifty points ahead of Sanders. In other Southern states, too, she appears to have commanding leads. According to a multi-state survey carried out last week by Public Policy Polling, she is ahead by twenty-eight points in Alabama, twenty-six points in Tennessee, twenty-five points in Arkansas, and twenty-two points in Virginia. “Clinton is benefiting in these states from overwhelming African American support,” P.P.P.’s Tom Jensen said in a statement. “She leads by anywhere from 40-62 points among black voters in the nine of these states that have more black voters than the national average.”

That should give her a good amount of pledged delegates.
It figures she's ahead.
She's managed to make news with her latest comeback so they're cutting her a little slack but they'll return to VRWC duty at their earliest convenience. On the other hand they do employ Stephanoplous. a loyal Clinton partisan, but when he started he was thought to be Hillary's mortal enemy. Didn't last long did it.
You mean possible indictment?
