Excited
Forgive me, but I obviously cannot stop myself from making posts with obnoxious headlines. (I blame sleep deprivation.)
According to CNN Senior Political Analyst Bill Schneider on the CNN Political Ticker:
(emphasis is mine)
Schneider: Clinton losing among whites and blacks in California
(CNN) – An interesting dynamic is at play in California: Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are in a tight race, even though Obama is beating Clinton there among both white voters and black voters.
According to our exit polls, Obama is beating Clinton among whites, 49 percent to 43 percent, and among blacks, 81 percent to 16 percent.
How is Clinton in contention? She’s overwhelmingly winning among Latinos and Asians. Two-thirds of California Latinos prefer Clinton, while three-fourths of the state’s Asians support her.
Latinos and Asians just may carry the state for her.

A friend and I have discovered a solution to the Obama vote deficit in the Asian American community.
Two Asian-American lesbians opine about the bizarre Super Tuesday turnout in California
(Note: Quite UN-PC. It's supposed to be funny, natch.)

Anna B - why should we be embarassed? If as a group, perhaps they are supporting Clinton based on her platform?

THE_BANANA_REPUBLIC,
Yes, it certainly does and it was intended in a tongue-in-cheek (obnoxious) kind of way.
I simply turned Mr Schneider's about statement Asians and Latinos around to "spin" what he was saying in a different way.
No doubt some people will certainly FEEL this way upon reading his blurb, so I had to put it out there.

you should be embarrassed ... but no worries, as long as Obama stays in the race he's just going to keep getting stronger!

I saw this on CNN. I don't know whether to feel empowered or embarrassed.

Well, you could also rewrite the title of this blog posting as "Clinton wins California, you can point your finger at the Asians (and Latinos)." :-)
