UPDATE, May 8 (HT to commenter dscott): A MYDDer compared Obama’s performances in Virginia, in the midst of when he was cruising to big wins, and North Carolina, and found that:
(in NC — Ed.) Obama won 40% of White Men (28% of total)
Obama won 33% of White Women in NC (35% of total)
Obama won 91% of Black Men in NC (13% of total)
Obama won 91% of Black Women in NC (20% of total)Obama lost ground among:
White Men (-27)
White Women (-12)
Black Men (-2)
He gained among Black Women (+6)
Even left side blog MyDD noted the fall off for Obama between Va and NC with near equal demographics. The comparison is worth a look.

While these numbers have to be concerning for Team Obama, for now they are happy to have won the nomination and will take it from here I would think.

#3, I don’t like either of them, but the Clinton Team point that he would get stomped in the general IMO won’t get lost on the superdels, esp if she gets 55+% in KY and WV, which is possible.
