[0:00] the Bill Clinton effect doesn't really
[0:02] matter to them. That could be one issue
[0:04] to explore as they go forward.
[0:05] Certainly, I think. How about race?
[0:07] >> Race is important. Iowa is a state that
[0:10] is not where the voters, the Democratic
[0:12] voters were 93% white, just 4% black.
[0:16] Why is that important? Because Barack
[0:18] Obama has won an overwhelmingly white

[0:55] it's on to New Hampshire. Okay so
[0:57] obstacles and opportunities for him as
[0:59] he heads onto New Hampshire. Obviously
[1:02] born again evangelicals clearly they
[1:04] supported him and it was that support
[1:06] that really really helped.

[1:09] voters in the Republican primary were
[1:10] born again or evangelical Christians.
