So Obama soared in Minnesota, North Dakota, and Idaho. Lotsa white people there. Also lotsa caucuses. What's the lesson?

Up is down in many of these results - across the nation. Latinos luv Hillary - that seems clear - but blacks, not so much (especially since if Hillary prevails, the blacks supporting Obama will feel greatly let down).
The Dems have a major problem with getting latinos and blacks on the same side or Nov will be a mess for the Dems, regardless of who is candidate.
Women luv Hillary in lots of places, but even more surprising is men in non-blue places liking Obama. We will be disecting this election for days or even years. (Is that a leg or a kidney?)
I go to bed tonight expecting a series of nightmares thinking of what a McCain/Hucklebee ticket would do to a ticket headed by Hillary (IMO that ticket would be less damaging to Obama because of his strength among blacks in the deep south where their numbers are significant). McCain without Hucklebee can't carry the south, and therefore can't win, since McCain took the Many states where the GOP likely can't prevail in Nov (CA, NY, MA, NJ, IL, MN).
So, Obama did have mo, but not enough to overcome the Latino and female vote margins for Hillary in crucial big states from the electoral college viewpoint.
Both parties have problems ahead. I wish I could take a Rip Van Winkle pill and awake on Nov. 1 - with a nice summary of the action prepared by Blogger Brian telling me what I missed, in both positive and negative terms.
What a mess!
Even more of a nightmare. How can it be possible that the GOP could conceivably win in Nov. running on Bush's platform but not his name? Has the nation learned nothing?
The lesson: Nothing has really changed from Nevada. Obama cannot break through. He will not be the Presidential nominee. He will be the Vice Presidential nominee.

Can you fathom ten more months of this? Jeebus.
