Hmmm. But were they white enough to make breaking news in American media? That’s the first question I’d ask.

@l3rucewayne: Yeah, I saw that, it’s probably true. Clinton would have basically walked through; Obama probably needed the initial win to be competitive.

@Allen: 1/3 was the first number that came to mind.

But when whenever they do those surverys of Americans’ knowledge of geography, we’re always more terribad than I could fathom. Probably more like 1/8.

The interesting thing I’ve heard is that if the media had looked into this story seriously early on (Heard something about their being longstanding reports or something that have been ignored) then with Edwards out of the running in Iowa Hillary might have won there and eventually gotten the nomination. I guess we will never know.
