[Blow by blow, the passion dies]

Clinton loses North Carolina due to less turnout from blacks and students, but she does better among rural voters.

It’s an interesting matchup this one had Clinton been the nominee that year

[Schiff for Senate]

Clinton loses North Carolina due to less turnout from blacks and students, but she does better among rural voters.

I'd say she almost definitely loses IN too - given the extraordinary swing/trend it gave Obama (a native Midwesterner from next-door IL), and his very narrow margin. I think I agree on the rest.

She was up big in Arkansas even while Obama was down big there. I think she wins it. Possibly even Kentucky and West Virginia, where she also led. Montana too.
