Let's dismiss this notion that Sanders only does well among white liberals. Only the white bit is true - whether they were liberal or not was more or less irrelevant.
Margin among white voters by state:

Arkansas: Clinton +27
Georgia: Clinton +17
Texas: Clinton +16
Tennessee: Clinton +15
Virginia: Clinton +15
Alabama: Clinton +12
South Carolina: Clinton +8
Iowa: Clinton +3

Massachusetts: Sanders +1
Nevada: Sanders +2
Oklahoma: Sanders +20
New Hampshire: Sanders +24
Vermont: Sanders +73

Lets dispel the notion that Sanders does well among whites.  He does alright with them, but he loses them as much as wins them.

That leaves out MN, CO though, where I'd guess whites were Sanders +28 and 24.
Also Sanders definitely won Iowa whites. Unless he got 80% of the barely existant non-white vote.
I'm just going by the exit polls.  Unfortunately, they didn't bother exit polling the caucuses on Super Tuesday.

We can quibble on those minor points all you want, that doesn't change my argument.  Sanders wins whites in some places, but Clinton wins whites in others.  Sanders' success with whites is inconsistent and highly exaggerated.
