No Clear Winner in Super Tuesday

I stayed up late last night watching the returns come in, and by the time I went to bed, the only thing that was clear to me was that Hillary had taken my home state and Obama seemed to take most of the others. Who was the real winner on Super Tuesday? It seems we won’t know that for a while. At best we can say that Obama and Clinton are pretty much in the same place. But some interesting points can be culled from the exit polls.
Contrary to what some expected, race apparently wasn’t the most important factor. While many expected Latinos in California to vote with a man of color (while others thought this might actually go against Obama in the end) they did not, turning out in record numbers to cast a ballot for Hillary Clinton.
Morning After Super Tuesday: Hillary Clinton’s Cali Win Thanks to Latino Voters

With 92% of precincts reporting, the California Democrat vote has gone to Hillary Clinton by 52% to Barack Obama’s 42%.Some media is saying that the Latino and Asian vote in the state is to thank for the Clinton victory.
Early exit polls indicated that Sen. Barack Obama was carrying the white voter in California because of his overwhelming support among white men. White women, as in other states, more often were backing Clinton.
Black voters overwhelmingly favor Obama but Asian voters, whose numbers are comparable to blacks in the most populous state, went overwhelmingly for Clinton.
The deciding factor may be Latinos, who make up roughly 30 percent of California’s Democratic vote. They were going for Clinton by a two-to-one margin.
