Black Enough
The Economist notes Obama's rise and Hillary's decline. Tomorrow's face-off at Selma could accelerate the trend:
[Obama] either trumps or neutralises Mrs Clinton's biggest selling-points. She is potentially America's first female president; he is potentially its first black president. She is a celebrity: he has star power. Mrs Clinton had hoped to set the pace of the campaign. But he has repeatedly run ahead of her—getting into the race before her, for example, and making her announcement, when it came, look like an exercise in catch-up.
He's now leading Clinton among blacks by 44 to 33 percent.
