24. Yes, for questioning the way delegates are allocated in PA and in TX
and, perhaps in other states. Districts that have voted Democratic in the past were getting more delegates allocated to them. Thus, the inner cities in TX and PA, that are dominated by blacks, were getting more delegates than the rural, white areas. And this is why Clinton winning big was not translated into a similar winning of delegates. As she said in Nightline earlier: had we have the Republicans rules of winner takes all, she would have secured the nomination by now.

Also, the fact that Oprah and Jesse Jackson would not have pushed for Obama had he not been black.
