OBAMA wiping out HILLARY in Todays contested states!

You're ignoring that the black population dropped substantially after hurricane Katrina and is still down. It also has a heavy Catholic population which is a Demographic Hillary had done extremely well with up to this point. Hillary also had Bill Clinton's governorship in neighboring Arkansas as a potential help for her in Louisiana.
Obama might have been expected to win, but the results were expected to be more like Alabama than this sort of very decisive victory.
Call them what you want, but:
1. they like big government to tell us what to do
2. they want tax cuts(IOW, don't care if we have to spend more than we take in)
3. they want big govt spending, in the form of corporate welfare and military spending
4. they like having an aggressive foreign policy
5. they're typically R's
6. sometimes, but not always, like to infuse their protestant(or southern baptist, whatever you like) Christianity into government

The news said that more than half the Democratic voters in Louisian were black.
And now comes the hard part for Obama.
With the primary schedule consisting of states he is expected to win up until March 4th the news stories will all be about the front runner Obama. Now the public scrutiny will really hit.
With not much to write about, I am expecting the media to start focusing more on his vague policies, lack of experience and even he dreaded "C" word.
With Obama admitting he smoked pot and used cocaine, it will only take one of his college classmates to say he bought some drugs from Obama, as people casually do.
And with the media willing to pay money for this sort of thing, it may get ugly.
Analysis is fun, and sometimes helps ground us in reality. But this is bigger than some of you are able to imagine. Obama inspires people in a way that this generation hasn't seen in our entire lives. For the first time in my 40 years, I am hopeful of what this country can be and what our government can do.
This is amazing. I am thrilled to be a part of it. Hillary won't be able to stop it, and it will be one exciting general election.

The reports I saw from the initial exit polls were less than half were black. Of course the number of black votes that did come out was due to the remarkable turnout of the black vote in the state.
The drug use issue is actually a strength for Obama because he was honest and forthcoming about his behavior as a youth instead of trying to feed the public bullshit like most politicians.
Obviously no-one rational is going to buy a silly bogus drug dealer claim given his honesty on this issue, and it will obviously hurt any campaign dumb enough to try bringing up such a slander again. (And even if done by a third party campaign it will backlash against Obama's opponent.)
As noted recently extensive research by the New York Times concluded his classmates barely even vaguely remember Obama doing drugs and that certainly wasn't the most striking thing they remembered about him.
Actually the Seattle Times did an in-depth story about his drug usage and all of his classmates said they never saw him do it and he didn't seem like the type. They said he would take a hit off a joint if it was there but it wasn't like he ever had a problem or was even seen as a pothead or druggie.
That story a few days before the election didn't seem to hurt him much, so I don't see his drug usage as being an issue.
