THE SUNDAY TIMES: On the eve of two crucial primary election contests, Hillary Clinton is pinning her hopes of winning the Democratic presidential nomination on a collapse in the white vote for Barack Obama.
“White flight” from Obama, who was hailed as the first post-racial presidential candidate, has been gathering force since Clinton’s nine-point victory in last month’s Pennsylvania primary.
Her allies will be looking at voting patterns in Indiana and North Carolina on Tuesday, the two largest remaining states to go to the polls, for any signs that Obama’s proven weakness among white working-class voters may turn into a rout.
Clinton is campaigning with fresh confidence that she has a plausible path to the nomination, despite trailing Obama in states won and delegates pledged to support her at the Democratic national convention this summer. She has already beaten him among white, non-college-educated voters in 26 out of 29 states, according to exit polls.
