Rochester, MN........................
..................Sanders was resoundingly rejected by black voters in South Carolina, a result that led many to question if he could ever make a dent in the important slice of the Democratic electorate.
On This Week, Sanders telegraphed more Super Tuesday defeats among black voters in the days southern primaries, but suggested black voters outside the region would be more likely to support him.
I think youre going to see us doing and I think the polls indicated it, much better within the African-American community outside of the Deep South, Sanders said. Youre going to see us much better in New York state where I think we have a shot to win, in California and in Michigan.
None of the states Sanders mentioned vote on Super Tuesday. In that contest, his campaign remains focused on states with a relatively large population of white Democratic voters.....................
