Obama will win the "whitest" state in the nation.

I wish my state was more diverse, but it's not. And I can tell you one thing, Obama will win our late primary here. Clinton simply isn't popular here despite endorsements by former governor Madeline Kunin and Speaker of the House, Gaye Symington. And Edwards hasn't been much of a factor to date. I'm not sure why. But the assumption that he won't win white votes is flawed. He may well not win that many in the South, but he's won a lot of white votes in the midwest and in New England. Clinton can keep up with her lousy tactic of trying to paint Obama as the "black" candidate, but we aren't going to fall for it here in one of the most progressive states in the country.

Vermont will vote for Obama on March 4th- even if he's way behind Clinton.
