Clinton still leading the way in SC
Clinton and Sanders are now drawing their focus to Nevada, a state where voters will decide who to caucus for next Saturday. Clinton leads him 59 percent to 49 percent in the latest CBS News Battleground Tracker.
The Vermont senator used unusually blunt words to express frustration with his opponent when he spoke to reporters Saturday before flying to Colorado for a Democratic dinner at which both were scheduled to appear. “I far prefer that and the chances we have to be successful there than trying to start all over again, gridlocking our system and trying to get from zero to 100 percent”.
Clinton’s point may have been well-intentioned and a little self-effacing, but he certainly seems to be mixing up the scientific reality of genetics with the modern social construction of race, a much more recent phenomenon.

Seeking to stem Sanders’ momentum, her campaign has argued that his appeal is mostly limited to the white, liberal voters who make up the Democratic electorate in Iowa and New Hampshire. Clinton’s campaign has launched a Latina-to-Latina phone bank program as well as a Spanish-language caucus-training program called Caucus Conmigo (Caucus With Me). Sanders drew about 20,000 people to two rallies in Minnesota last month and has identified the state as a top target. But one of the most important was black voters.
