Much of what’s being reported online is how racially polarized this vote in Mississippi is.

According to the AP:

Obama was winning roughly 90 percent of the black vote but only about one-quarter of the white vote, extending a pattern that carried him to victory in earlier primaries in South Carolina, Alabama, Georgia and Louisiana.

At least one blogger notes that this says more about race relations in Mississippi than it does the race as a whole.

But what do you think this mean for Mississippi? What does this mean for the rest of the country? Share your thoughts in the comments field below.
