jacqui.c, I don't know where you are getting your information that Obama came out of Super Tuesday as the "front runner". No news organization is reporting anything even remotely close to that declaration.

The Clinton and Obama camps both got to declare a non-defeat. That's it.

You may have heard that people wouldn't elect a black man. See my post above yours. Obama captured the male vote--black and white. Black voters are voting for the black candidate. There is simply no other way to interpret their votes.

But Clinton captured the base of the Democratic party, and I am actually encouraged for the first time in a long time, because there is one bloc of male voters that stuck by Clinton: Latino men, whom everyone has said would never vote for a woman.

I am thrilled to see Democratic support still so strong in the Latino community in general (they came out in big numbers too, but they aren't as sexy a voting bloc as Obama's voters, apparently).

Latino voters have a lot riding on this election. Obama's stand on immigration sucks to the point where even McCain's stand on immigration is more progressive by comparison.

The way that will translate in November is, if it Obama v McCain, Latinos are going to vote for McCain and you will see them referred to in future elections as "McCain Democrats".
