In the end, in every election to come, the media WILL declare that this or that group of people "made the difference". And while that's inevitable it's also sophistry really.. because in the end, ALL the votes made the difference.

Agree with everything you said especially in a general election where its a level playing field and every vote is the same and counts.
In the nominations for each party it is different as less voters, and the caucus states are run much different than a primary. I am not saying he is only where he is because of the black vote, but also a major part is the caucus states which favor him greatly and is an advantage he would lose come the general election.
