With Hillary dead and gone without even a decent wake, most of the punditry is busy with the fatwa, decreeing beheading with a dull knife for anyone who says irreverent things about Barack Obama.

The statistics are plain enough: While Barack Obama was winning 92 percent of the black vote in Indiana — where blacks made up about 15 percent of those voting Tuesday night — Hillary was winning 60 percent of the whites. The percentages were roughly similar in North Carolina, and 92 percent of 15 percent is impressive mostly as a testament to racial loyalty.

This says nothing conclusive about an election night in November.
