21. OK - race card played by Obama to chg subject from Hill's NH win - and "consolidate" base as extra
delegates awarded to black areas made winning black vote more important than any other group.

Obama did not "play race card directly" - he had David on the phone pushing ever comment by any Clinton supporter that could be stretched to "sensistive to blacks" as a race card- David played the race card - and it worked.
