Interesting.  Wow.  80% of the vote is white and Obama gets 29% of it?  Fortunately all those white Democrats will all come back home in November and vote for Obama.

Yeah, sure they will.

How's that anymore ridiculous than expecting the black vote to come back to Hillary (which she gets an even lower percentage of)?

Smash is wrong. There are plenty of bourgeois suburbs in Ohio, it's just that they aren't all (or rather; almost all) concentrated in just one metropolitan area.

And they all vote mostly Republican.

No, but a closed primary would also result in a higher % of African Americans than an open one would. 

But having an open primary doesn't reduce the number of black voters, and unless Clinton does better (in net) among the crossover voters, that would only be good for Obama.

I know it doesn't reduce the amount of black voters, but black voters would make a larger % of the overall vote in a closed primary than in a open one. 

Uh, ok, and the percentage of independents and Republicans who have favored Obama has gone down to 0.

Not really. Many will switch registrations.
