UPDATE: Buzz has it that Clinton won by overwhelming margins among Hispanics, and Obama won by overwhelming margins among blacks. Polling shows a similar dynamic in upcoming states. That’s good news for Obama in South Carolina, but very, very bad news for Obama on Super Tuesday, when the Hispanic vote will be substantially larger. I’m told Southern whites are largely against him as well. So much for post-racial politics.

UPDATE: Right: Obama won Nevada blacks 80 to Clinton’s 16; Clinton won Nevada Hispanics 64 to Obama’s 24. Overall turnout in Nev. was enormous.
